I was talking with a friend and she said she wanted herself and her husband to be buried in their backyard when they die. I know this was allowed back in the day, but what about today? They live in the country and have a farm house that they want to pass down the family line. But what happens if someone in the family sell it or it gets taken from the bank?
I put this in the Canada Forum because I had no idea where to put it and I needed to know the Canadian laws on this. I personally don't know if it is allowed or not.
I don't think there is any law/bylaw regarding where to bury (at least here in NS), BUT yes, if your descendants sell the property, the new owners will have to live with ghosts just like in those Englsh novels. (just kidding).
I would love to be buried on our land, too, but what if our kids will move?
The idea of small community cemetries appeals more to me.
Ah I am in NS too,(so is my friend) I think the "rules/law" still applies for cemeteries not being allowed to be dug up or removed, unless you have a permit or something?
I actually tried to find any law or bylaw a few months ago, regarding if you can bury your loved ones on your own land, - and found nothing. No restrictions so far, exept for you common sense (the selling property part).
Have no idea about remains relocation... We have here a whole Indian cemetry relocated (which is kind of awkward, I think, since some bones were undoubtedly left in the original site).

As long as you have planning permission from your local council I don't see what the problem would be.
I think you just have to disclose the burial plot when you sell the property.
