If the title has failed for want of an heir or next of kin and the
land
title reverts to the public (people), why can't the county trustees just
file a notice of failed title to record the property in public title?
Better yet, does Indiana have a statute the enables the counties to
establish "abandoned" (left behind) cemeteries as "Pioneer Memorial
Parks"?
In California, all the county has to do is publish notice declaring the
cemetery closed to future burials, and take public comment, and then it
can't quiet the title under the provisions of this statute. (California
Health and Safety Code Sec. 8825-8829)

Thanks Sue,
You asked a good question. As far as who owns an Excepted cemetery, I
really can't say with 100% accuracy, but I bet you I will start Monday
Morning to Find out. Thanks for the Question. Jon, are you able to answer
this for sure.
