AB268,1,2 1An Act to amend 157.061 (9) and 440.70 (4) of the statutes; relating to:
2regulation of mausoleums.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, mausoleums are regulated by the Department of Safety and
Professional Services. A mausoleum that is intended to be used for the burial of more
than ten human remains or for which at least one mausoleum space or niche is
offered for sale must generally be located in a cemetery. Under current law, burial
of human remains for purposes of the rules applicable to mausoleums includes the
inurnment of cremated human remains.
This bill exempts columbaria from the requirements applicable to mausoleums.
Under the bill, a columbarium is a building or structure, or part of a building or
structure, that is used or intended to be used for the inurnment of cremated human
remains and not for the entombment or interment of human remains.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
