Welcome to the Cemetery Care & Burial Trust Division of the Illinois State Comptroller’s Office.  Though most often associated with the state’s fiscal matters, a lesser known function of the agency is our oversight of the cemetery and funeral home industry.

The links on the left hand side of this page are accessible to all visitors.
