Cemeteries are notorious for not making gobs of money. Most have problems breaking even, and that is quite a feat as they often have lots of voluntary help too. Given the opportunity to get out from under them, owners have been notorious for selling them on the QT to developers, etc. who quickly and quietly either plow or build over them. It is only when descendants of the deceased raise a stink that anything gets done. Cliff.
