Findings 6 findings
F1
It is the policy of the Oroville Cemetery District to require additional fees, when they have undercharged a family. The PCD and GBCD do not, they absorb the error.
F2
The OCD does not allow for an interment fee adjustment for burials done the day after a holiday.
F3
The OCD and PCD charge for a death occurring outside of the District seems excessive and harsh, especially if all costs have been pre-paid.
F4
The GBCD educational program for young adults is original and wise.
F5
The Endowment Care Funds for all three Cemetery Districts are adequate and should be sufficient to maintain the cemeteries to perpetuity. 37

The OCD, GBCD, and PCD appear to be well managed and in compliance with the State of California, Department of Consumer Affairs.
