When are burial rights terminated?

Burial rights are terminated upon the interment, entombment, or inurnment of the remains elsewhere because this action signifies a definitive transfer of the remains from one burial site to another. When remains are moved to a different location, the original burial plot is no longer needed, and the legal rights associated with that plot are effectively nullified.

This conveys the understanding that the act of placing remains in a new resting place concludes the legal and physical rights to the previous burial plot, as the remains have been removed. Other events, such as selling the plot or transferring ownership, do not inherently result in the termination of burial rights in the same manner, as they may still allow for the plot to be used for burials. Additionally, merely completing a burial service does not terminate rights if the remains are to remain in that plot. Thus, the act of moving the remains is what ultimately defines the termination of those rights.
