The Code of Virginia, specifically § 57-27.1, states that "owners of private property on which a cemetery or graves are located shall have a duty to allow ingress and egress to the cemetery or graves by i) family members or descendants..." Prior to final site plan approval, a private access easement must be provided into the development in order to allow access to the cemetery in accordance with the Code of Virginia. This can be done as part of the easement plat application referenced in previous comments. A deed of easement for access to the cemetery will need to be provided for review by the County Attorney. The deed will need to specifically mention the parties that are granted access to the cemetery in accordance with the Code of Virginia. Use the following link to access the Code of Virginia: LINK.
