§ 8571 Cemetery Plot Ownership Rules

• •Once you buy a burial plot in a cemetery, you can't split it into smaller pieces unless the cemetery says it's okay or the law allows it.
• •If you buy a family burial plot, it stays with the family and can't be sold or given away to someone outside the family.
• •The rules about burial plots are set by the cemetery or the law, not just by the owner.

A family buys a burial plot in a cemetery to bury their loved ones.

This family can't sell part of the plot to another family unless the cemetery agrees. Also, if it's marked as a family plot, it must stay with the family and can't be sold to someone else.
