I’m in my early 30’s and recently purchased a cemetery plot. Rather that let it sit there and receive any use from it until I’m dead, I’ll like to partake in some summer activities this coming year. The grounds are kept so nice and the grass is so green, I’d like to sunbathe on it. I’d also like to get outdoors and use it for some stretching and yoga. I’ve told a few of my friends about these plans and they state the cemetery may not let me “hang out” there. I disagree – I bought the land and have the paper work to show anyone who may oppose my recreation. So, I guess my question – Is this acceptable? Don’t I have the right to do as I please, as the plot is mine?

You did not buy the "land".
Buying the plot only gives you the right to be buried there. The cemetery retains ownership of the land.
You are obligated to follow the rules and regulations of the cemetery ... which I am quite sure do not include sunbathing, stretching, yoga and other forms of recreation.

don't you have anywhere else besides the cemetary where you could hang out? i own a cemetary plot but the only time i go to the cemetary is to visit my family members graves. i also use to work at a funeral home that was on the grounds of the cemetary. i guess you do have the right but why do you want to do those things at the cemetary? family members will probably make a lot of complaints and you will be asked not to do those things there.

Illegal in most areas & even in most countries.
In some using a burial plot for anything other than burial is death to the user.
Its also very disrespectful to all others in the area..
Both the live visiting and the death already buried.
If I was there in the area visitiing a plot, and you were doing anything as u describe, you probably would get severaly injuried and I know others who would stop at injury.

That's an inappropriate place to partake in summer activities.Find a quiet park or beach to sunbathe and do yoga in !!The cemetary is for people to mourn or visit their loved ones in!!

Nice to have a place where you could rest peacefully. Anyway, the cemetery sets down the rules and regulations. You have to obey the graveyard's policy of proper conduct. If not, they could let weeds grow ugly on your beautiful piece of earth.

Actually if you read the fine print you will find that you are free to use it how every you want once you are dead and burried there. Then feel free to sunbath all you want or do yoga.

I don't think the company operating the cemetary would appreciate you pitching a tent in the graveyard and using it as a campsite......even though the headstones are spaced perfectly for you to hang a hammock on.

Are you NUTS?? Of course you're not going to be allowed to sunbathe or hang out there! You have bought the right to be buried there, not a party place.
This is a wind-up, right? You really can't be serious about this...

No. You will be contravening planning issues. I'm not aware of any Local Authority that allows land set aside for this purpose to be used for any other without prior permission.

NO. That is disrespectful for the family members who will go to visit a passed loved one and see an almost-naked person sun bathing next to their family member's grave.
I wouldn't like to see that. Not at all.
