§ 8602 Spousal Interment Rights Protection

• •If you're married, your spouse has a right to be buried in a plot you own, even if you sell it.
• •You can't sell or give away the burial plot without your spouse's written permission.
• •If you get divorced, your ex-spouse loses this right unless the divorce papers say otherwise.

A husband owns a family burial plot and tries to sell it without telling his wife.

The wife still has the right to be buried there, and the sale isn't valid unless she agrees in writing. If they divorce later, she loses this right unless the divorce papers say she keeps it.
