Subject: [INPCRP] TRUSTEE MAINTAINED CEMETERIES
Date: Tue, 29 Oct 2002 08:49:31 -0500
Hello All,
I want to ask your opinion on the issue of cemeteries that we have
documented in our county. We always do a lookup to see who owns the
property that the cemetery is located on. This is to determine if it is
private or public owned to see if the trustee is responsible. It has been
discussed many times about the lack of care that a trustee gives the
cemeteries in their townships, that they know they are responsible for,
usually stating that they do not have the funds to care for them. My
question is: Do any other counties have instances where you ask who cares
for the cemeteries and they tell you the trustee takes care of it, even
though you are speaking to the private individual who OWNS the cemetery? I
hate to discourage anyone from taking care of a cemetery, but shouldn't the
resources of the trustee be spent on caring for the ones that he is legally
charged to care for?
