Sweetland and
Morticians Clash
On Burial Costs
Portland - (CPD - State Sen.
Monroe Sweetland (D-Milwau-kie)
and a spokesman for
morticians clashed here over
what Sweetland termed "the
high cost of dying."
Sweetland called upon the
Interim Committee on Public
Welfare Monday to recom
mend the next session of the
Legislature be asked to place
a limit on priority claims of
morticians against decedents'
estates.
He said that under present
law funeral expenses and
costs of last illness have an
absolute priority, without
limit, over all other claims
against a decedent's estate. He
said some small estates were
completely exhausted by mor
ticians' claims.
Introduced Bill
Sweet land introduced a
1959 bill which would have
limited priority claims of mor
ticians to a maximum of $300.
It did not pass. Harry G.
Spencer of the State Welfare
Commission testified that ex
cessive claims of morticians
and the cost of legal action to
challenge such claims put a
burden on welfare funds.
Edith Daily, executive sec
retary of the Oregon Funeral
Directors association, replied
that "only 5.4 per cent of wel
fare burials are involved in
this criticism. We give many
charitable services and the
number of morticians who
operate unethically is ex
tremely small, although every
profession has a few problems
in its own ranks."
Sweetland urged the Com
mittee to reintroduce his bill
in 1961. The committee de
cided to draft a new bill to be
discussed at its February
meeting.
