Remains were buried in 1992 and 1997 respectively. No documentation at the church...daughter of decedents wishes to plant a tree in memorium (trees were planted originally when remains were buried but have since been destroyed by tornados) Planting the tree is not an issue. Having the remains on church property is......Is this something we need to take care of legally or just sweep under the carpet??

Well, if trees were planted as a memorial when the remains were buried, then someone knew they were there. I assure you people can't just go around burying urns and planting trees without somebody knowing what they are doing. It is not the fault of the people buried there or their daughter that the church is remiss in record keeping. Let them rest in peace, only this time, make sure the church records that they are there. There shouldn't be a problem with them being buried on church property...that's how the term "churchyard" came about. You will find graves on church property all over this nation, and probably all over the world. At least they weren't buried IN the church as some are.
