Many cemeteries have been abandoned over the years for lack of funds. Check with the county to see if in deed is was case,If it was then your friends do own it, and other then cleaning it up there isn't any thing that can be done with the land. States have laws  specific to cemeteries and disinterring bodies,weather the grave site was abandoned or not.

Possibly yes after a person dies the debt collectors go after the estate. So if her name was on the deeds the might be able to. It is something to talk to a lawyer about.

A friend of mine has her doctorate in anthropology and uses her powers as a cemetery preservationist, author and anthropologist.

I've heard of pet cemeteries.  There are probably all dog cemeteries, but then if they buried you in it, it would no longer be an all-dog cemetery.  Once they bury a human in an all-dog cemetery, you have no idea what may be next!  Maybe even cats!!!!!  Perish the thought!

Having respect for people that we love. Also respect for people that can not protect themselves. How would you feel if someone close to you had passed and their remains not respected? I'm sure you would be concerned as well. Are you aware that in a mortuary that from beginning to end the up most respect is used for the deceased?

Whoever owns the land owns all the air space above it.  I'm guessing you could make some arrangement with the owner over the use of the property, but the airspace wouldn't be subdividable (i.e. you could never split it into an individual parcel).

You would need to call the cemetary office where the body is buried OR the one you want to have the body reburied at.

I'm pretty sure you can put anything you want in you will. Put in your will that you want your friend to be responsible for funeral arrangements and have a lawyer to varify it.\n\nI live in alabama also... I think this is true... but check on it with a lawyer.\n\nDaniel

It means you get the right to burial, but do NOT own the land.  After a certain period of time, the land could be used for womething else, at the least, it wont be maintained after it has filled up.

From the source below:\n\nis generally applied any time two or more persons, who are not husband and wife, are entitled to the possession and use of the same property. The owners may own unequal interests (shares) and may have received their interests at different times and through different means (grant, deed, inheritance, will, etc.). The important distinction between tenancy in common and other types of co-ownership is that, upon death, each owner's interest passes to his heirs or those named in his will. There is no right of survivorship which transfers the decedent's interest to the other co-owners.

good, its not like you will need them once you are dead. You still get to be buried or cremated and no one can tell the difference. One person can help save many people.

If they own the car park, certainly. They can determine what happens on their property.

First you have to get a permit from the city then talk to the place where the burial took place they should be able to tell you.

A cemetery is just like any other private property.  You can only enter the property with permission.  During normal operating hours, permission to enter is presumed.  Therefore, you can enter any cemetery at any time so long as you are invited by the owner or you enter with the owner's permission.  Entering a cemetery at night without permission is trespassing and you may be prosecuted.  It sounds like your Dad was right, kind of.

The property has to be owned by somebody.  If the property belonged to a deceased family member and no one ever came forward to take legal possession as per a will, then most likely someone else owns it now.  It would have been sold for non-payment of property taxes.  If they know the municipality in which the property was located then check with the local tax assessors office.
