As the state approaches the implementation of New Jersey’s natural organic reduction law, the New Jersey State Funeral Directors Association has received many telephone calls pertaining to the funeral director’s role in carrying out a decedent’s wishes to undergo NOR.

Key among those questions is how to properly complete a death certificate if NOR is chosen. In contemplating how to best utilize the Electronic Death Registration System to document an NOR recipient, the association believes that no changes will need to be made to EDRS to accommodate this new offering.

Ohio could be the next state to legalize natural organic reduction if a recently introduced bill in the state legislature is approved.

Republican state Senator Louis W.

Blessing, in testimony before the Senate Ways and Means Committee, called NOR “the gentle process of transforming a body into soil.”

There is a moment that every funeral professional knows well.

It comes after the last prayer has been spoken, after the final condolences have been offered and the family stands at the edge of an open grave or an empty room facing the weight of a world that will never quite look the same again.

In that moment, what does the grieving heart need most? The answer, more often than not, is hope.

The Office of the Chief State Medical Examiner has provided medical facilities in New Jersey with guidelines for determining which deaths are reportable to the OCSME.
