When a cemetery sells a final resting place it is not selling real estate. Instead, it is selling the right of interment.Are there any rules on heirship regarding unused graves or family plots? Burial rights obtained through inheritance should be recorded with the cemetery. A cemetery lot, or burial space, shall consist of a deed of conveyance for a land area or niche. (1) No cemetery corporation, in purchasing real property hereafter, shall pay or agree to pay more than the fair and reasonable market value thereof. Pinelawn Memorial Park And Arboretum is a non-sectarian cemetery, welcoming people of all faiths and religions. All monuments erected must have a deed owner's name above all other inscription work. Grave availability is extremely limited at Holy Rood. However, graves do become available from time to time as families surrender unused spaces.
