Please go to this new site, for laws affecting cemeteries in the State of Tennessee. I would have copied them but appears someone pasted a page from a law book on to this site which doesn't lend itself to "copy/paste". Joyce COPIES OF THE TENNESSEE CODE ANNOTATED AFFORDING PROTECTION TO CEMETERIES. Gives all the code numbers and a full description of each code + penalties. Hope this is helpful to the current discussion. However, it doesn't have anything about 'cleaning up' a cemetery. ttp://www.geocities.com/davidson_co_cemeteries/tn_state_law.htm
