It may not effect you personally today - but what about tomorrow. Hi Dianne As you may remember I have been restoring our Pioneer Cemeteries for several years. The situation here in Indiana is that we have very few and very poor laws protecting them. Recently a sad trend has developed where developers are using third parties to petition the courts to disinter bodies to make way for developments. The most recent case happened in Clark County where a developer made a del ($$$) with a funeral director who got acourt order to remove the bodies from a cemetery that was in their way. The bodies end up in boxes in a building at the University of Indianapolis. Really sad! Would you send out to your mailing list the attached link whereby people can download a copy of the petition to change the laws? Anyone with ancestors buried in Indiana should be concerned about the problem. here is the link: http://www.rootsweb.com/~inpcrp/Petition-Disinterment.PDF I will be bringing a copy with me to the reunion for folks to sign as well.
