Posts - Bill - HR 4284 Small Cemetery Conveyance Act
house 07/02/2025 - 119th Congress
We are working to allow the Secretary of Agriculture to transfer ownership of certain small cemeteries to local governments, tribes, or communities at no cost, ensuring these lands are preserved and used only for cemetery purposes. This aims to protect historic burial sites while providing clear stewardship to those with a direct connection to the land.

Free land for cemeteries? I prefer if we let property rights mean property rights.

Nice idea, but will this 'freebie' land come with strings attached or just good intentions?

Handing out land for free? Sounds like another government giveaway nobody asked for.

Giving land without a price tag? At last, a bill that honors history without emptying our pockets.

A cemetery law that tries to walk the line between honoring culture and avoiding government overreach.

Finally, a step toward respecting indigenous gravesites—land back isn’t just a slogan, it’s policy.
