Re: gravestones and plots
It is typically covered in the contract with the cemetery.
The person who paid may be in primary place to designate ownership, followed by the heirs of a deceased owner. Generally, plots cannot be sold or transferred without the permission of the cemetery, and they are not necessarily the same as a parcel of deeded land.
Good luck.
