Funerals - Moving the remains of a loved one to another county
Expert: Lisa Carlson - 11/3/2009
Question
My nephew was 8 years old when he passed away. He was buried in another county, same state. My parents are both dying with different cancers. Their last wish is to have him (my nephew, their grandson) buried next to them. We have all ready purchased the plots. I don't know where to start. My nephew's passing wasn't of natural causes. I don't know if it matters, but he was murdered. His mother's (my sister) boyfriend beat him literally to death. She was in Florida at the time, but still received 25 years because she knew what was going on and did nothing to help him. He received life without parole. My sister has been released from prison all ready. She was stripped of all of her parental rights. In fact, there was a 5 month old daughter (my niece) that was adopted to another family. Can you tell us where to start? I don't even have a clue, but I would love nothing more than to help my parents with this.
Thank you, sincerely,
Michelle
Answer
In what state? You don't need a lawyer to go to probate court, and that may be necessary to get a disinterment order. I will check the laws when you tell me.
Check with a funeral director near your parents, too. (If they haven't already shopped around, this might be a good time, as there can be a BIG difference in costs between funeral homes.) If the nephew was buried some time ago, the casket may have given out and need to be replaced.
