Your Legal Rights Under Michigan Cemetery Law

Michigan law provides families with strong protections when cemeteries violate their obligations. Key legal rights include:

 

Right of Interment

Purchasing a burial plot grants an enforceable right of interment, not fee ownership, but a legal right governing who may be buried in the plot. Cemeteries must follow their own rules and Michigan’s Cemetery Regulation Act when administering burial rights.

 

Right to Control Disinterment

Disinterment is highly regulated in Michigan and often violated by Cemeteries. 

​

Attorney Bologna regularly represents families on both sides of disinterment disputes, ensuring legal requirements and the deceased’s wishes are fully respected.

​

Cemetery Obligations Under Michigan Law

Cemeteries must comply with the Cemetery Regulation Act, the Prepaid Funeral and Cemetery Sales Act, trust-funding rules, and strict record-keeping and maintenance standards. When they fail, they may be liable for:

• Negligence

• Breach of contract

• Fraud or deceptive practices

• Emotional-distress damages

• Statutory violations
