Abstract
Cemeteries are one of the oldest and most sacred human uses of land. As sites of community memory, burial grounds are important parts of the public realm. Like most land uses, cemeteries are subject to local land-use regulations. In many places, they also must adhere to state regulations. Yet burial grounds also possess social and cultural meanings that set them apart from almost every other land use.
