What happens if my son has been missing for three years?

Can we bury ashes ourselves in our family cemetery plots?
My grandfather bought 16-18 plots in the family cemetery located in TN. A family member wishes to have his ashes buried in one of the plots the family owns. Can we open the grave site ourselves and bury his ashes ourselves, or do we have to pay the cemetery to hire someone to do it?
What rights do I have regarding above-ground burial in a township cemetery?
We have cemetery plots in a rural township cemetery. At the time of purchase, no rules were in effect to limit burial to below ground. We have 6 lots and were planning on having above vaults. It has come to my attention that now the 3 trustees of the township have made a change in the rules of the cemetery to prohibit any above ground burial. What rights do I haveas this is where all my family is buried and I do want to still be buried here but under the rules when we purchased the lots. My address is in Champaign County, but the cemeter is Berea Cemetary, Mosquito Township, Christian County, Illinois. Thank you
Is it illegal to bury a miscarried fetus in the backyard?
I had a natural miscarriage at home, the fetus measured 14 weeks. We buried the fetus in the backyard, but the doctor called and thinks that is illegal. Is it illegal? What are the laws concerning disposing of miscarried fetuses?
What should I do to claim my inheritance from my deceased brothers?
I live in NYC my mother died in Florida in 2000 leaving about 2300.00 in an account. One of my two brothers was made executor of the estate. I believe the will divides all property 3 ways presumably making all three of us rightful heirs. Both of my brothers have since died. What the bank requires to release the funds to me is court order naming me sole heir. What do I do?
