Exploring Almost Forgotten Gravesites in the Great State of Ohio

Dedicated to cemetery preservation in the great state of Ohio


"A cemetery may be considered as abandoned when all or practically all of the bodies have been Removed therefrom and no bodies have been buried therein for a great many years, and the cemetery has been so long neglected as entirely to lose its identity as such, and is no longer known, recognized and respected by the public as a cemetery. 1953 OAG 2978."

It has been a long time coming in Ohio, the formation of an "Ohio Cemetery Law Task Force":

"The Cemetery Law Task Force will hold its first meeting on Friday, January 24, at 10 a.m. at the Division of Real Estate and Professional Licensing, 77 S. High St., 22nd Floor, Columbus. The Cemetery Law Task Force was established by the 130th General Assembly in H.B. 59 to develop recommendations for modernization of Ohio laws relating to cemeteries."

 From what I have been told, the meetings are open to the public to attend.
