Burials On Private Land In Ohio

[Gotthard]

Lisa, first I would like to ask what is the name of your book? My other question is, I would like to be buried on my land. I have 32 acres in Ohio. What are the requirements to set this up.

"Caring for the Dead: Your Final Act of Love." But it's out of print, while I work on a new edition. E-mail me directly for the OH chapter. I don't think a lot has changed since '98.

Laws in OH are silent about home burial. If your land is outside the village or city limits, just draw a map of the land showing where the family graveyard will be and pay to have it recorded with the deed. A good practice is 150 ft. from a water supply and 25 ft. from a neighbor's boundary or power line.
