This controversy has been in litigation in New Jersey for at least 50 years and has to do not with religious liberty but with an unfair competitive advantage adhering to religious institutions who do not pay taxes in the sale of headstones and monuments coupled with their geographical advantage of controlling the burial plots themselves.

Is there anything that prevents a private business starting a graveyard? And while churches do not pay taxes, most businesses do not spend inordinate sums of money building meeting halls and helping the poor.
