Summary

The Secretary must keep a list of cemeteries inside the Recreation Area and make sure people can get to them for burials, visits, and upkeep. If a qualified resident, their relative, or a cemetery association asks, the Secretary must give a small amount of extra land to expand an existing cemetery so those people can be buried, and the requester must pay to move any fences or markers needed.
