Providing Washingtonians and their loved ones with location choices for interment of remains.

Summary

HB 2239 creates a legal framework for owners of private property to designate a portion of their land as a family burial ground where they or their relatives may be interred. It bars owners from selling burial plots or charging fees for services, requires burial details to be reported to state and county officials, and allows local governments to regulate or prohibit such grounds. Violations are treated as civil infractions with a $500 penalty.
