I couldn't find anything about "relatives" of those buried in the cemetery having access, but I did find the following: =A7 57-27.1. Access to private cemeteries. After reasonable notice to the property owner at his last known address, representatives of local historical commissions may enter upon the land of a private or family cemetery for the purpose of conducting official business, unless the property owner objects. =A7 18.2-127. B. Any person who willfully or maliciously destroys, mutilates, defaces, injures, or removes any object or structure permanently attached or affixed within any church or on church property, any tomb, monument, gravestone, or other structure placed within any cemetery, graveyard, or place of burial, or within any lot belonging to any memorial or monumental association, or any fence, railing, or other work for the protection or ornament of any tomb, monument, gravestone, or other structure aforesaid, or of any cemetery lot within any cemetery is guilty of a Class 6 felony. So the second one at least lets us know that fences, etc. cannot be torn down and cattle run through the cemetery. I hope this helps.
