TRENTON – Legislation sponsored by Senator John A. Girgenti to protect the sacredness of a funeral proceeding by making it illegal to knowingly disrupt the service was approved by the full Senate today.
“It’s important to remember how difficult it is to lay a loved one to rest and that is why disrespecting the deceased, regardless of your own personal feelings about that person, is uncalled for,” said Senator Girgentri, D-Bergen ands Passaic and Chairman of the Senate Law, Public Safety and Veterans’ Affairs Committee.
