Assemblyman & Sen. introduce bill for proper Jewish & Muslim burials without family.

I'm so excited to announce that we have just introduced a great law in the New York State Assembly called the Sacred Burial Law. It provides that a funeral home or a government entity that has an unclaimed body of Jewish or Muslim descent of faith about to be cremated, that they have to notify various Jewish or Muslim organizations, which they would then come and receive the deceased and give them a proper burial in a cemetery like this and not have the body cremated. What is so exciting about this law is that A, it doesn't cost anything to the taxpayers. These organizations will cover the cost. And B, it provides for these deceased unclaimed bodies the proper burial they deserve according to their faith. I would also like to thank Senator Sutton for being my partner in the New York State Senate for carrying the bill in the Senate. As of now, we have to work hard to pass both houses and then have the governor sign it into law. Thank you very much.
