Three Bay Area cemeteries, including Skyview Memorial Lawn, Evergreen Cemetery, and Mount Tamalpais Cemetery, have been ordered to halt operations due to mismanagement and failure to comply with state regulations. The cease-and-desist order followed a ruling by the Solano County Superior Court, which declared that the cemeteries' owner, Buck Kamphausen, had mishandled endowment care funds. Kamphausen has stated his intention to appeal the judgment, claiming that a former employee's negligence contributed to the mismanagement. The authority now controls the trust funds, complicating the owner's ability to maintain the properties, which he asserts are also poorly managed by the state.
We've found that they've taken over six cemeteries. We went and took pictures of five of them. Nothing's been done, they're run down, it's just a mess.
We lost in the court because the judge did not even give me the time to testify. She didn't want to hear it from me.
