§ 7928 Cemetery Removal Reimbursement Limits

• •If a cemetery makes people move graves, they can pay back family or friends who did the moving themselves.
• •The cemetery can only pay back what it would have cost them to do the moving, not more.
• •The cemetery decides what's fair to pay back after they've set aside money for taking care of the cemetery.

A family moves their grandma's grave from one part of the cemetery to another because the cemetery told them to. They paid $2,000 to do it themselves.

The cemetery can pay them back, but only if $2,000 is what the cemetery would have paid to move the grave. If the cemetery usually pays $1,500 to move graves, they can only pay the family $1,500.
