Newspaper Article Accompanying the Headline News
New Legislation Signed!
The Cryonic Burial Act (CBA) authorizes the formation of
the Cryonic Regulatory and Advisory Commission (CRAC).
After a lengthy struggle to pass a bill,
federal legislators have finally succeeded in
mandating cryonic burial in the U.S. in an

3. attempt to stem the disastrous effects of
ground burials on the environment. Today,
the President signed the Cryonic Burial Act
(CBA) which authorizes the formation of the
Cryonic Regulatory and Advisory
Commission (CRAC) to develop and
administer the mandatory policy and gives
CRAC regulatory control over the cryonic
burial industry.
The CBA is the most extensive and strict
legislation the cryonic burial industry has
faced from the federal government. There
are many changes ahead for the cryonic
burial industry as well as the internment
practices of U.S. citizens. Two, high-profile
non-profit groups, CRYOut! and the
Cryonic Environmental Rights Society
(CryERS) have formed at opposite ends of

4. the issue and have been vocal in their efforts
to influence the legislation. CRYOut! has
been a staunch advocate of civil rights
declaring the mandate unconstitutional as
cryonic burial may conflict with citizens’
religious beliefs. Conversely, CryERS has
wholly embraced the environmental aspects
of the legislation and its potential to
eliminate the green house effect. Although
neither group was wholly successful in
having their philosophies incorporated into
the legislation, both CRYOut! and CryERS
were able to ensure they had some say in
how the financing and budgeting for CRAC
will be developed. Both groups are
specifically mentioned in the legislation as
stakeholders for the purposes of
collaborative financing and budgeting with

5. the Commission.
CryBur, Inc., the nation’s leading provider
of cryonic burials, announced its approval of
the legislation indicating that the
environmental benefits of such a mandate
far outweigh any civil liberty concerns that
have been raised. A representative of the
National Association of Undertakers,
Cremators, and Cemetery Professionals
stated that this mandate would throw their
entire industry into turmoil and the
economic ramifications had not been fully
anticipated by the legislature. T.G. Reaper,
the association’s president stated: “This is a
typical ploy by the government to put
ground burial workers out of business and
hand over a monopoly to CryBur. CryBur
stands to make an enormous profit from this

6. debacle of a law!” The undertakers may
have a point, as CryBur, Inc. was also
tapped as a “stakeholder” of the CBA and
will be putting their financing and budget
opinions forward as well as CRYOut! and
CryERS. CryBur’s stock value skyrocketed
200 points after the legislation was enacted.
Unsubtantiated reports hint that CryBur is
pushing remediation payments from
undertakers to help fund the CBA. On the
other hand, CRYOut! and CryERS are both
leaning towards hefty sales taxes and
business licensing fees for the entities that
will benefit most from the mandatory
legislation.
