Can the county take state land under imminent domain law?
This is highly unlikely. If a city or a county has to implement a temporary cemetery site, the key word is “temporary.” We do not intend to bury bodies and have that be their “final resting place.” Once mortuary services are able to recover from the surge of deaths that have overwhelmed their local resources, the bodies would be disinterred and returned to the funeral home of the family’s choice for burial or cremation.
