Selling cemetery plots

[Uniquorn]

What is the name of your state? Ohio

This may not be the place to enter this, but it's a weird problem and I'm not sure where it belongs.

I have the deed to two cemetery plots that's 60 years old. My grandmother had given me the deed to try and sell the plots, but I didn't get around to it before my grandparents both died.

I called the cemetery and they wouldn't buy them back, and they told me I'd have to hire an attorney and get all of my grandparents' survivors to sign papers saying it was OK to sell them. Since I don't even know if I'd be able to sell them, I'm not about to hire and pay a lawyer. He said I couldn't even donate them without doing this.

Today I was looking at the deed and it's actually my great-grandparents' names on the deed, not my grandparents. Obviously they've been gone for a very long time. So, everyone involved is now deceased and I can't get rid of these plots. I looked for, but couldn't find, a cemetery association to give me some advice. Help!

Thanks,
