What action led the board of commissioners to reinter bodies in a town cemetery?

The action of reintering bodies in a town cemetery usually occurs when there is a failure to pay for the burial. When families neglect or fail to meet financial obligations associated with burial plots, cemeteries may have specific policies in place that allow for the reinterment of the remains. Such policies are often designed to manage the cemetery's space and ensure that all burial rights are upheld in accordance with legal and financial agreements.

In this context, the board of commissioners is likely acting in compliance with established regulations or guidelines regarding unpaid burial fees. This action helps maintain order and fairness in the management of cemetery resources. Other factors, such as improper burial site or requests from family members, may lead to reinterment, but they are typically driven by different circumstances than the financial obligations tied to a burial. Changes in cemetery management might also affect operations or policies, but they would not directly lead to reinterment without some breach of contract, such as non-payment.
