Spotlighting the Ohio State Bar Association's website and its links for information about Ohio cemeteries and the laws that relate to them.

Please note:
This link had been available on the funeral.ohio.gov website:
It had been linked from the last listed category entitled:
"Ohio Cemeteries FAQs."

Below is the section containing the cemetery references:
"5) Finally, a city may be liable if a city employee is negligent in performing a non-governmental function, such as operating a hospital; designing, constructing or operating a cemetery; establishing, maintaining or operating a utility; maintaining, operating or destroying a sewer system; or operating a public stadium, auditorium, civic center, exhibition hall, arts and crafts center, band or orchestra, or off-street parking facility."

I was so pleased to see this information available again available online and hope the Funeral.Ohio.gov restores the link to their website. The information provides a valuable resource for so many seeking more answers pertaining to their problems relating to their cemeteries of concern.
