Legal Question in Legal Ethics in Iowa
my sister passed away, had no life insurance, there is still an owing balance on her funeral services, the funeral home owns the cemetery and will not allow me to put a name plate on my sisters grave due to this balance, that is not my responsibility. is this legal?? can they deny me the right to buy my sister a name plate and have it installed by them or by an outside company? I told them I would purchase elsewhere and have them install it, and their reply was that they would forbid it to be installed

It's their cemetery, they can do more or less what they want with it-unless you have title to the actual plot itself in which case that's another issue entirely. Sounds like they're trying to use you to collect a bad debt-which is kinda cheesy but unfortunately legal.
