   - Virginia law does require that landowners allow access to cemeteries on private property for the purpose of visitation by family members/descendants or plot owners, and for genealogical research. You must give reasonable notice and abide by any restrictions the landowner may place upon frequency, hours, and duration of access (§ 57-27.1 ).

 I have a rather extensive question !
Being a resident of Maryland, I have little or no knowledge of Virginia's cemetery laws, specifically regarding old family graveyards. Who owns the cemetery?  Who can be buried in the cemetery? How may one obtain access to an old cemetery which is surrounded by a parcel of land now owned by someone not related? etc. etc.  ANY HELP will be GREATLY APPRECIATED !

If anyone would like to comment on Virginia customs regarding this subject, that would also be VERY HELPFUL.

Gratefully,
         Mrs. Carole Bryant
