§ 7804 Removing Cemetery Memorials After Disinterment

• •If a family member or friend moves a dead person's body from a grave, they can also take things like the headstone or monument from that grave.
• •They need to show a paper (affidavit or written consent) to the cemetery to prove they have the right to take these things.
• •The cemetery must let them take these items if they have the right paper.

Your grandma is buried in a cemetery with a nice headstone. Your family decides to move her to a new grave in another cemetery.

You can take the headstone from the old grave to the new one. You just need to show the cemetery a paper saying you have the right to do this.
