Hi Brian and List.

Brian has asked " what about cemetaries."

Most plots in cemetaries are obtained under a "lease in perpetuity." The decedent and survivors to the lease do not have rights to the land or anything under, or on it, unless specified in the lease terms. They are basically renting it.

Best to all,

Guido
