Cemeteries and Interment
Sheila Nemet-Brown
Death is a mystery that often baffles and intimidates us all, but the law in regard to it need not. Halsbury's® Cemeteries and Interment volume provides a clear and straightforward explanation of the legal aspects of death and burial, from the issuance of a death certificate to exhumation of a body and a discussion of the business regulation of funeral homes and cemeteries. Topics covered include:
- The regulatory framework for reporting and registering death
- Requirements for dealing with and disposing of human remains and corpses
- The law governing embalming and funeral home services
- The law governing the operation and business of cemeteries
- Statutory and criminal offences in relation to corpses and interment
Charities, Associations and Not-for-Profit Organizations
Donald J. Bourgeois
Charity begins at home and quickly makes its way into Canada's boardrooms, schools, churches and, eventually, law offices. As charitable and not-for-profit organizations become increasingly important vehicles for driving social support services and community goals, lawyers are likewise increasingly called upon to be able to offer an informed explanation about a variety of charitable issues to clients.
Halsbury's Charities, Associations and Not-for-Profit Organizations volume is the ideal reference for everyone for whom charitable and not-for-profit law is not a day-to-day area of expertise. It puts this important area into clear focus, systematically explains the structure of the non-profit field and outlines the duties, liabilities and logistics connected with this important area of law. Among the important topics covered:
- What constitutes a charitable purpose?
- Division of powers in regard to charitable endeavours
- The various organizational structures utilized for charities, associations and non-profit groups
- Cy-pres doctrine and fundamental change
- The role and duties of directors and officers
- Procedural and statutory rights of members
- Finances
- Supervision and oversight of charities
- Fundraising rules
- Income Tax Act considerations and requirements
