Apparently, this is the situation with all New York City Cemeteries. Have had this happen in three instances: Calvary, Lutheran Cemetery, and Maple Grove. About 30 years ago, they were given the ability to levy these charges and the first guy that asks is the one who gets the bill. Obviously, you don't own the plot, so it's not really your bill. --- Thomas Novak <Thomas.Novak1@prodigy.net> wrote: > This is just a continuing bit of info to all of you > "cemetary info seekers" > out there. > > Several weeks ago I reported that I had received a > death certificate for > James F.
