This strikes me as something exceedingly difficult, if not impossible,
to answer: http://www.gao.gov/assets/240/239428.pdf .
From the report:
Most states regulate cemeteries, although not all cemeteries in
those states
are subject to regulation.11 Specifically, as shown in table 3, of the
44 states that responded to our survey covering cemeteries and
cemetery
operators, 34 regulate cemeteries, and 27 of these states noted that
not all
cemeteries are subject to regulation. About half of the states that
regulate
cemeteries require at least some cemetery operators to be licensed,
although the licensing requirements vary across the states. Of the
33 states
responding to this issue, 23 said that at least some cemeteries
must be
licensed, whereas only 16 of these states require at least some
cemetery
operators to be licensed.
