How would you feel about buying a property with graves on it?

One word....Poltergeist..

So, just having a cemetery is not an issue for me HOWEVER, the location of it is. This one you mention seems to be in the backyard, so to speak (maybe literally). That would be a problem due to the above rights of survivors, and the consideration for all involved to feel comfortable coming & going.

The one I saw on TV surrounds the dwellings. You walk past a few graves to get to the dwelling. That is a bit much...

I know of another small church that sold in my previous village and has been converted to a house. It has a few graves along either side of the building, on a smallish piece of land. I have no idea how the new owners worked around them... I'm actually considering visiting to go have a snoop and maybe ask the owners how they feel about having previous residents in their garden space.

It would not bother me. I would honor their remains and keep the graves clean and respected. I would probably plant flowers on them, just to make them pretty and attract pollinators.

Quite a few people see it that way... to the extend of:

Yep... There are two things certain in life, Death and Taxes - might as well learn to live with both of them <--- oxymoron. Death I'm ok with, it's the taxes I don't like one little bit. Expecially since I live in a tax vampire state (Illinois/Dick Durban/"J. B." Pritzker).

Those assumptions do very little to match reality for most of us, do they?

Come live here for a year and find out. They are very real. If you know what's good for you, you don't buy anything of substantial value in Illionis. You buy it in Kentucky or Missouri and bring it back to illionis.

Hate to say it but it's true, I was told this by many when we first moved to illionis.
