Cemetery plots. Requirements and such.
Quote from jud on July 13, 2010, 5:45 pmPrivate or public, cemetery boards are in the land sales business. As such here they are treated as subdivisions with the exception that the individual graves remain unmonumented and are not buildable lots that meet minimum size requirements. The last one I did required a boundary survey of the whole tract, then because they did not want to develop the whole tract, a Partition Plat was required to divide the tract. Then we prepared a Subdivision Plat of one of the Parcels created by the partition, then set enough monuments to well define the platted subdivision on the ground, so individual graves could be located with confidence and short measurements. Each step went through the standard land division process consisting of the application phase, approval phase and the signatures by the appropriate entity's on the plat confirming their approval before being recorded in the Clerks Office along with a copy being filed in the Survey Records. Check the State and Local requirements before agreeing to anything.
