About 8 months ago, (In Mercer County) a family had a child and it died at birth. They buried their child on the family farm with a fight from the state but it happened. The fight was over water. Seems you can open a grave anywhere as long as it doesn't interfere with the water ways. Not sure on all of this but that was what our neighbors and an argument over. The child has a nice fence around it and is in a sunny meadow. Also a few years ago I was looking for a cemetery and went to the court house again in Mercer County and they do not have to keep records on cemeteries. Only mention of cemeteries is when a person purchases a piece of property and a cemetery is on said property you do not have to now the name just mark that there is a cemetery and a right of way.
