This is one of the first questions people ask when buying a burial plot, and the answer is no. In the U.S., a purchased cemetery plot belongs to you forever. In some instances, however, if a cemetery is considered “abandoned,” the state can reclaim the land and discontinue interments.
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.
