It says laid to rest in family property. I didn't know they could still do that. But it is Gilmer county...... ------------- "Farming is a business that makes a Las Vegas craps table look like a regular paycheck" Ronald Reagan |

Yep, sounds like he would have been a fine fella to know. Bet he was the best friend you could ask for or the worst enemy you could have depending on how you treated him. ------------- Just an old country boy saved by the grace of God. |

Tyler, in Georgia, unless there is a local ordinance against it, you can bury a person on your/their property, my Uncle was buried in his pasture, he wanted to be with his cattle, and my Aunt said it was where he loved to be. ------------- Allis Express North Georgia 41 WC,48 UC Cane,7-G's, Ford 345C TLB |

Tyler, I believe most counties still permit that. There are a lot of private cemeteries around and I guess you could start a new one. I have ancestors buried all over the area where I came from, some are laid to rest in a grove of trees in the middle of a field. But to show how nitpicky some local jurisdictions can be I had a friend that lived in Athens who could not bury his dog behind his house (#&%$# city ordinance). ------------- Just an old country boy saved by the grace of God. |

I assume that means the family can't ever sell the property he's buried on? At least not without exhuming him first? ------------- "Farming is a business that makes a Las Vegas craps table look like a regular paycheck" Ronald Reagan |

re: I assume that means the family can't ever sell the property he's buried on? At least not without exhuming him first? Neighbour and 3 of her friends are buried in her backyard. (cremated) Don't know if new homeowner KNOWS of them being there...... I know in Canada you can 'spread ashes' anywhere,except on private land YOU don't own. ------------- 3 D-14s,A-C forklift, B-112 Kubota BX23S lil' TOOT( The Other Orange Tractor) Never burn your bridges, unless you can walk on water |

The gravesites remain as is plus the new owners can not deny descendants access to the gravesites/cemetery. Sometimes a developer will want to relocate the gravesites but they have to go through a legal process to do so. BTW I am not an attorney nor do I play one on tv. I have not stooped that low yet. ------------- Just an old country boy saved by the grace of God. |

I would never cow tow to that ignorant ordinance. It would be a ceremony after dark if necessary. I got some F up neighbors and I am sure the feeling is mutual. But we ain't F up. lol

| is it a family cemetery or ashes, cause in Ohio if you bury a bodiy it is to be in a cemetery with proper endowment for care of the cemetery forever. |

| In MO, all one has to show is that there is a plot bought. DO NOT have to show proof of burials of Ash Urns. My Uncle's ashes have been scattered and not saying where. Is where he was happiest. |

Old fellow I worked in a gas station for - asked me to close the station Sat**day night work all day Sunday as he had to go to his brother in laws wake on Sat**day . Found out later of WHY . He had his grandson drive him to funeral home but stopped at several bars on the way to have a couple drinks for old times sake, walked into funeral home - up to casket pinched the hand of his B in L , SAID - YEP HE's DEAD - now lets go and have a few more drinks in his honor . Followed by : He was the only one I liked out of my wife's family , most of the time including my wife. Told him that many times and we both said one of us would celebrate when the other passed . Monday he was back on the wagon - he drank only on occasions and not that often - said he needed to every so often to remember how bad he felt so he didn't do it again . ------------- Faith isn't a jump in the dark.
