You may find that the cemetery lots are handled the same way as any other
form of real estate. In other words, they may be transferred by deed, will,
etc.
If the original owners are dead, and there was no will, you may find that you
need to get ALL of the heirs to sign off in order to get the use of the
graves.
If there are a great numver of heirs, you may find this to be next to
impossible.
I speak only for my own state....yours could possible be different....ask any
major cemetery or mortuary officer, I am sure they can tell you.
