6) Management Assistance. As part of our process to aid in cemetery management, JCRPNA provides technical assistance to cemeteries with management problems. This includes provision of a comprehensive software program for cemeteries at below retail rates. Currently there are several cemeteries interested in this process, which is headed by Carl Bergman.
