Which states have laws forbidding the burial of people on private non-cemetery property?

Question

I've tried an internet search of local laws, but can't find anything specifically related burying someone outside of a cemetery.
I don't plan to bury anyone in my backyard. I trying to find out about the laws because a child was buried on private property, at a place called YFZ Ranch (actually a fundamentalist LDS compound) near Eldorado Texas, which is in Schleicher County. If you are curious, here's a link to part of the article: http://www.myeldorado.net/ (requires purchase - full article states that child was buried on YFZ compound earlier this week)

Answer 1

I hope they all do. What you are trying to bury someone in your backyard?

Answer 2

Mostly burials on private property are cremated first. But the reason isn't law -- although that's often an issue -- but devaluation of the property. Nobody wants to buy land with burials on it, and there are or may be laws that inhibit reburial without special licenses.

Answer 3

I'm sure this is a local ordinance type thing, controlled more at county or city level
