What are the boundries of an unfenced familly cemetary?

I have seen many family cemetaries that have fences around them and I suppose that when there is no more room you can't bury any more people but I've also seen many that don't have and fences. Just curious.

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: That varies by State and County laws and regulations.It is not common today to bury a loved one on private property. We are in a society that most everyone is rather 'mobile' and move frequently. Our forefathers had homesteads, estates, acreage and they buried their loved ones on an isolated area of their property. There have been cases on record that properties were later subdivided and then sold. Buriels were discovered later by people wishing to build on the 'thought to be vacant property.
Fences basically were to identify the area of the property that buriels could be made.
Your questions is very good. Hope this helped.
