CA legal process after a Hindu's death is not satisfactory. Here is a letter that describes the problem and requests to amend the process. Hindu organizations and individuals, please sign this letter and mail to the address. Also put this letter on your Hindu web pages. jai sri krishna!  -sv To:  DCA Cemetery & Funeral Program                              9 Sept. 2000        400 R Street,        Sacramento, CA         1-800-952-5210 From: Steve H Brown (AKA Suresh Bhoot)           7408 Elderwood Dr. NW           Albuquerque, NM 87120           E-mail:  mltipure@juno.com Subject:  Dis-satisfation with the procedure - Request to amend it for good. Dear Sir / Madam, Here let us describe one of our experience, and then tell what is wrong about it, so that you could let us know what we do to help you correct the procedure. Report of our (Hindu community’s) experience.: Suresh’s mother Mrs. Bhoot passed away at 1:30 AM on 4th Sept 2000  at his brother’s house in Santa Ana, CA.  The hospice lady was called soon.   She came without undue delay, checked Suresh’s mother, and confirmed that  yes, she was dead all right.  Then by 2 PM or so we finished our Hindu  process; and Accu Care, 1410 S. Acacia, Fullerton, CA team came in time  and the body was taken to the Accu Care premises and stored in their freezer  room.  Jeff, the Accu Care person indicated that as soon as Dr. Holcom signs  on the death certificate they would be able to cremate the body. So, we were waiting then after and hoping he would sign soon.  It happened that he signed on Thursday morning.  This was three days late than what we the Hindu customers and citizens wanted. We understand that the hospice lady was your direct and first person to witness and confirm that Mrs. Bhoot was dead.  Dr. Holcome never saw the body, and he very well knew that the body is in the freezer.  He and all also know that a live body is not allowed to be place  in a freezer.  So, he already knew that if the hospice lady said a person is dead, then the peson is dead.  So, then WHY your procedure require his (a Dr.’s) signature on the death certificate?  As far as we understand, it does not require a doctor to know if a person is dead.  There should not be any need for a signature of a Dr. who never saw the dead body to certify the body is dead. This not so intelligent legal process imposed on mortuaries is not helping us the Hindus.  We Hindus, per religion and tradition, generally want to cremate the body soon, as soon as possible, after the Hindu rituals are finished.  Any undue delay is painful.  We the Hindu community therefore request that you amend the procedure to satisfy the Hindu customers’ requirements.  If we could do anything to help you amend the process, please let us know how.  Thanks very much. We would place this letter and your response to various Hindu web pages for the benefit of all the Hindus of the world.  Your e-mail response would be highly  appreciated. Very Truly, Signature, Name of person or Organization, Address, phone #, e-mail address, Date
