The Non-Profit Organization Serving California Cemeteries and Funeral Homes

Timely, Pertinent Information

CMAC endeavors to provide our cemetery and associate members with news and other information that is timely, informative, and useful.

Information is disseminated through periodic newsletters, as well as emails and bulletins. Members also share information through the CMAC Interment Reporter publication.

The Members-only area at www.CMACcalifornia.org provides an on-line library with publications, minutes, safety materials, and other resources to help them keep informed of developments in the industry, as well as
CMAC activities and efforts.
