Developer's lobbies will see to it. The general public will tolerate it. Therefore, we may be well advised to consider an alternative before further damage is done. How about a law that provides as follows: Any person or organization which owns or controls a cemetery and intends to alter it for whatever reason shall, as a minimum, perform the following acts prior to making such alteration. 1. Make a pictorial and textual record of all physical historical or genealogical elements of such cemetery. Such record shall be of a quality and completeness that will provide a researcher with all of the facts that could have been found by examining the cemetery before alteration. 2. Such record shall include but not be limited to the geographical location, a plat showing the location and name of the occupant (when known) of individual graves, a good quality picture of each grave marker, and pictures of the general location and layout of such cemetery. 3. Legible, reproducible copies of such record shall be filed with the State Library or State Archives, as applicable, of the State within which the cemetery is located prior to altering such cemetery. The person or organization filing such record shall obtain and retain an official receipt for same. 4. The penalty for violating this law shall be severe enough to make compliance economically advantageous to the person or organization planning to make such alterations. 5. The term "cemetery" includes any burial or internment site for human beings. ****************** No doubt the language can be improved but the provisions must be reasonable enough to gain the support of organizations such as Library Associations, Historical Societies, Genealogical Societies, the DAR, and similar state and national organizations. They must also be reasonable enough to make the expected protests of developers unacceptable to legislators and the general public. Any reader who has connections or influence with any of these societies or associations is free to forward this proposal to them. Hopefully, some of them will develop it and pursue implementation.
