"Maybe it's completely right to be buried there in perpetuity. If it is the case, I don't want to own the land."
--Michel Guite, would-be buyer.
"Graves are certainly moved, particularly if the government wants to exercise eminent domain. We've had sometimes entire cemeteries moved."
--Bob Fells, general counsel, International Cemetery Cremation and Funeral Association.
"To show how ridiculous this is, if this thing ultimately runs the course and gets approval to move the cemetery to build his dream house, what's to prevent someone driving down a road from saying, 'Here's a lovely, beautiful site. I can put 15 houses on there. But I've got a problem, it's a cemetery. Well, OK there's a precedent."
--Jim Bulmer, member of the Bridgewater American Legion and the Vermont Old Cemetery Association.
