If you've considered asking, “how long do you stay buried in a cemetery?” the answer is typically 100 years or more. Plots are sold for 50 to 100 years, but it's unusual to remove anyone from the burial grounds unless the need for space requires it.
No. Cemetery property is owned by the cemetery corporation. The real property is not sold. The lot “owner” receives three privileges: the right of burial, the right to memorialize and the right to vote at lot owner meetings.
Today, some cemeteries rent out plots, which allows people to lease a space for up to 100 years before the grave is allowed to be recycled and reused. Many countries around the world have resorted to this process as their available land begins to fill.

If you would like to apply, change ownership, or renew as a Perpetual Care Cemetery, it is required that you file with the Secretary of State. Cemetery plots can be expensive, especially in metropolitan areas.Most, but not all, require you to purchase a grave liner in addition to the plot itself. You have to refer to the rules of the cemetery. Most cemeteries forbid transferring to or burial of to anyone other than family members. The first two things to do when you believe an old cemetery needs cleaning up: 1. What happens to the ownership of cemetery plots when the owner dies? Does a deceased person own his own cemetery plot? Most bodies are buried in established cemeteries, but there are no state laws in Georgia that prohibit burial on private property.
