Yes, That is what TN law states. But the graves are supposed to be moved at the land owner's expense. The descendants can choose the plots if they want. Don't know who has to buy the plots though.

Classification: Cemetery Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/UiB.2ACI/1352 Message Board Post: In the 03/27/06 Washington Post newspaper, www.washingtonpost.com there is a half page story datelined Lebanon with pictures, and details the loss of family cemeteries in the south. This is an interesting, but disturbing, story. It seems that our family cemeteries are not as safe as we may have thought, and that anyone holding the deed to the property the cemetery is located on can move these family plots without any other approvals necessary.

What's the name of the article? I have a Coats private cemetery in MO, the Nuclear Power plant bought my ggggg grandfather's farm and all the surounding land...but I must say, they didn't disturb the little family cemetery and even allow us to visit it to take photos etc...they sorta keep the grounds but don't distrube the little cemetery under the mulberry bush... It is indeed interesting to see photos of the cemetery with Nuclear power plant behind it...wonder what grandpa would say if he could see it....:) Char On 3/28/06, Teresa Elliott <[email protected]> wrote: > Yes, > That is what TN law states.
