re: Forgotten Graves

The cemetery that my wife’s family are all buried is an old Church cemetery. Probably one of, if not the oldest in the county. There are a few Revolutionary soldiers buried there. The old country church where this cemetery is located has about 8 members left, and they are all 80+, including her 96 year old grandmother.

There are 6 plots left for the family and she and I MAY be buried there. I have 8 plots in the old city cemetery that were bought for my family in the 70’s. Her parents will be buried at the old Church, but I always wondered how long someone will continue to keep this cemetery kept. Someone’s been doing it for well over 200 years, but there’s got to be expiration date.
