Camden Cemetery Committee approves software contract after insurance review

The Camden Cemetery Committee approved a contract for cemetery management software after a detailed review of the vendor's liability and cyber insurance policies. A committee member initially requested a postponement to verify that the insurance, written under Australian law, would provide adequate coverage for U.S. clients. The vendor provided the full policy wording during the meeting, confirming worldwide territorial limits, which satisfied the committee's concerns.
