When did that law in Tennessee take effect? I am not sure when the house was built on my GGgrandparents grave but it is a nice brick home. Ruby

From a search from the state of Tennessee I located this page http://search.tennesseeanytime.org/query.html?ht=0&qp=&qt=cemetery+law&Submit=Go&qs=&qc=&pw=100%25&ws=0&la=en&qm=0&st=1&nh=10&lk=1&rf=0&oq=&rq=0&si=1&quick+Links=Most+Visited+Sites There are some references that require the use of Acrobat reader from this site, so it would be necessary for you to look at it. There was a hearing in Sevierville a couple of months ago about the moving of a cemetery, the judge allowed its removal because there was not enough descendants voicing opposition to the removal. There have been laws in Tennessee regarding cemeteries since 1911. The removal of a grave has to be done with care, due to the death of the individual. Some diseases create no problems until the air hits them and they are activate once again. Patti
