In my little town the Methodist had a cemetery where about 300 graves were located. The Methodist church had allowed to grow up and a local contractor approached them about buying and developing the property and they sold it to him. My Dad had grown up as a kid in the 1950’s in this area and him and his brothers and friends had camped out on the edge of the cemetery even during the summers.

He told the local government you have approximately 300 graves in this area you are about to let someone build houses on. They could have cared less. No bodies were moved, tombstones were knocked down, buried or outright removed. There are now several houses built over this old cemetery and none of them know what lies below their homes except for me and a few others. The Methodist church nd the local governments behavior was an abomination, more so for the church, all they saw was $$$.

“There are now several houses built over this old cemetery and none of them know what lies below their homes...”

Gonna be real fun when someone digs a basement or puts in a pool.
