I ask because cemetarys take in huge money and you have to travel so far to see a long lost , so I believe people should be allowed to bury people in the backyard so your loved one can be close to you .

If you really,really,really love,and you can't let go of them,then do what feels right,because if you don't you might feel really,really,really far away from there.But if you really want to your loved one is just a few steps away and never to far.

so do i . private cemeteries were stopped a long time ago except in very rare cases like princess Dianna.
i do in part understand why they did this . they did it because all to often a person would be in a grave there then the home or land is sold the maker if any falls down or is brOKen or something and then 50 or 100 years later even less maybe someone else says ok i am going to build something else here and then as they dig they find a body . so all work has to stop and the police have to come and other people and they have to find out who it was and what to do with the body now and all that.
i can tell you that in cemeteries now they fluids they put in the body embalming ones are causing a very serious problem .
i know as my father grandfather and brother are or were all ministers so lots of graves seen by them . one cemetary in prospect park toronto 30 years ago my dad told us that in much of the place the fuilds from the bodies are so great that a 6 foot grave is 3 feet of embalming fulid. in addition i had a sister in law that grew up next to a cematary and there well water was made useless by all of this fuild . my familiy lived right in a cematary at one time and while we did have a well and drank the water looking back i think if we had known more about all this we never would have. locations of cemataires are now a hot topic on city and town planning meetings as no one wants to live near one because of the pollution .
i think what with dry ice and refridgeration we have now no fuilds should be used except in cases where the doctor states it must be done due to a virus being present . other then that chill the body until its in the ground and no mess .
my father also told me that a funeral home was as good as a licence to print money his father was and his grandfather were undertakers and so he sure knew about that was well .
i think most of this cost is just a scam . i have seen on tv were in some places they have made laws that state the family must be shown the cheapest means of having a funeral meaning a low cost casket a grave side service only things like that. so much money is wasted and the undertakers are so happy dispite there sad sobber looking faces.

I don't think there is anything morally wrong with it but It's against the law where I live in California. Besides if you move you would have to dig up the body and drag it with you. There are other alternatives. You can always cremate, it's cheaper and you can still have your loved one. Also,I saw this guy on some T.V. show that stuffed (taxidermy) dead people and pets (after they were legally released from the coroner). If cost is your only objection then just shop around. Buy your burial stuff on-line. Sam's Club sells Urns, caskets and accessories. There also a couple of store fronts in mini-malls that sell cardboard caskets.

No, it isn't wrong but their may be laws against it in your area. The cost of burying someone in a cemetery may not seem so high when you figure out the cost of having a hole dug in your backyard to the appropriate depth. You may also want to consider the possibility that you may sell your home in the future. The new owners may not be thrilled to have a grave in their backyard and you won't be able to visit the grave site without their permission.

In a lot of ancient cultures they buried their loved ones beneath the floor of their house to keep them close...but anyway, I don't really think it's wrong but it is probably illegal and if you moved away I don't think the next family would like having someone's body in their backyard.

Not necessarily wrong. Just illegal. People used to do it all the time before laws prohibited it. People still keep loved ones ashes in their homes today.

It would defenitly be easier on the morgage concidering the first burial and the sale of the home would have to be a hundred years later.

No, it's not wrong, but what happens if you have to move away? I've seen very small cemeteries in the front yard of a house, so I think it's okay, but it is not something I would do.

It's not wrong, however it is probably illegal, not just in the United States but in other countries as well
I live in the U.S.A. and have a friend that lives in Belgium, Europe and he buried his mother in his back yard because he said that is what she wanted, but it was totally illegal.

It depends on the laws of your state. Go to the court house and check out the laws.
Hope this helps!
