We anticipate Cemetery Board vacancies each January. For complete information about these governor-appointed positions, please visit http://www.governor.wa.gov/boards/default.asp.

What does the board do?

  • Grants certificates of authority to operate cemeteries owned by corporations other than religious groups or taxing district authorities.
  • Grants pre-arrangement sales licenses and crematory licenses.
  • Reviews audit results of endowment-care and pre-arrangement trust funds.
  • Holds disciplinary hearings on title violations.
  • Adopts and amends rules, and consults with the Board of Funeral Directors and Embalmers on rules for cremation and crematories.
  • Serves as the disciplinary authority under RCW 68.

The board doesn’t regulate:

  • church cemeteries.
  • cemeteries operated by counties, cities, towns, cemetery districts, or other government entities.
  • abandoned or historic cemeteries. Abandoned or historic cemeteries are under the jurisdiction of the Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation. For more information about these types of cemeteries, email the Deputy State Historic Preservation Officer at Greg.Griffith@dahp.wa.gov or call (360) 586-3065.

Who is on the board?

  • One member of the general public with no financial interest in the cemetery business.
