How to Transfer Ownership of a Burial Plot Step 1 – Get the Deed From the Cemetery. Step 2 – Review the State and Local Laws. Step 3 – Prove You Are the Current Owner. Step 4 – Fill Out the Cemetery Plot Deed Transfer Form. Step 5 – Complete the Transfer and Get the New Deed.

Owned and managed by local government entities like a city or town, municipal cemeteries are typically operated as non-profits. Revenue from interments and memorials covers the costs of upkeep and maintenance.

In most cases, when you buy a plot, you own it forever. There are some states with laws that allow them to reclaim the space if a certain amount of time passes with no activity at the gravesite. This time span is usually 50 years or more. Check with your estate attorney to see if this type of law applies to you.

Often, a cemetery will issue a ``deed'' at the sale of a grave space or lot of graves. This deed is NOT an issuance of any real estate. It is, in fact, a promissory note which prevents the cemetery from using that, particular space to bury anyone else.
