Coronavirus and the Deathcare Profession
April 10, 2020
Call to Action! Your Help is Needed Now!
When Congress drafted and passed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and. Economic Security (CARES) Act last month, it precluded non-profit cemeteries registered under 501(c)(13) as eligible borrowers under the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), the new small business lending program created by the legislation. In response, ICCFA is advocating that Congress include 501(c)(13) cemeteries in the PPP when the Senate considers supplementing the program in future legislation.
We have sent a letter outlining the issue to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), and Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-NY). We ask that ICCFA members also send the letter to their individual Member of Congress and utilize any personal contacts for the following key Members.
This discussion is currently taking place as congressional leaders seek a compromise on how to provide additional funding to businesses and organizations impacted by COVID-19. Please make your outreach as soon as possible.

- Senate Committee on Finance
