Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Maryland
Can't place my brother's urn in cemetary niche
I own a wall niche but somebody else has, who I don't know, has been in there since May. I want to bury my brother who is cremated already, but they won't let me. They were supposed to move him to a new wall. Can I sue for rent on this niche that I paid $4000 for? Can I sue for punitive damages?

Re: Can't place my brother's urn in cemetary niche
It depends on the terms of your contract (does it give you a property right in a particular location, and can they change the location), and, if so, probably on whether the trespass is intentional. You need to consult a lawyer who can review the contract and the facts.

Your contract should provide for the observances as were purchased. If funerary rights are not being observed contact an attorney.
