Despite the allegations and expired permits, Kamphausen claims that the transfer to Evergreen Ministries would alleviate operational challenges. He argues that churches do not need licenses to manage cemeteries, asserting that working with a nonprofit would help combat rising costs associated with maintaining these facilities.
