My family has been laid to rest beside each other in three different family cemeteries for over 200 years . All three cemeteries are within walking distance of each on land once owned by my family. Since the county purchase of the land surrounding our cemeteries we have been completely stripped of all burial rights next to our loved ones. We now have no where to rest. Recently we had to beg the County for over a week to allow my cousin to rest beside his Mother after his sudden passing. Now my 82 year old Mother is being denied the right of having her brother rest beside their brother. We have maintained this cemeteries for these 200 plus years knowing that we would always be with our loved ones when our time came. Now without hesitation that has painfully been taken from us.
