Are there tax benefits for cemeteries on your property? I’d check.

Why not clean it up a bit and just leave it alone just be a good caretaker. I have a Confederate General buried on mine and do the same.




I own several properties with old cemeteries. I know how to handle that.

From the moss on the rocks I always figured it to be at least 50 years old.


Moss dies every year. I question your expertise in grave site age analysis

Probably Karl's baby brother. He emptied out all the washers and nuts and screws and whatnot that were in a shoebox. Then he taken the little fellar and put him inside the box and buried him right there in a corner of your creek. That seemed more proper to him, I reckon.

Fair enough, but I do know what disturbed earth looks like and I stand by my figures.

What does this mean? And did you notice the moss growth 15 years ago and then today and compare?

It means that I pay attention to things most don't. Always have.

I have been paying attention to how moss grows on disturbed stones for over 45 years. It is just how I was wired.

I find this kind of thing very interesting...I would do my best to figure out who is buried there. I know where a few of these old, forgotten grave sites are and always try to be respectful of them.

I found one several years back that was date in the mid 1800s. A year later, I happened by again and found a fresh grave right beside it...same last name buried adjacent over 150 years later!

There is a grave site registry. You would be surprised about the lonely graves they have registered. I would check it out first. I would assume you looked at it to be certain there were no engravings on the rocks.
My great-great granddad in buried in a lonely spot in the woods of Webster Parish. His is on the registry.

What does it take to be buried on your own property these days? The funeral business is a racket

Dig it up, pussy. Probably a pet. On a HGTV show I saw recently someone bought a house and found a little tombstone and got all worried. He dug it up and it was a stuffed animal.

Good question. A property about 20 miles out of Columbia is doing these dig a hole chunk em in burials.
I think the most that they can have other than the body is a blanket. Too weird.

Lonely graves and cemeteries in the middle of nowhere fascinate me

A half decent woodchipper rental for a day or two?
