Concerning family burial grounds.

HB 1065 creates new rules for family burial grounds on privately owned land in Washington State. It defines such grounds as areas for burying related individuals (by birth, marriage, or adoption), requiring a 25-foot setback from property lines, no more than 10% of the parcel area, and no restrictions on burial types (e.g., ground burial or cremation). Owners must record each burial with the county auditor within 30 days (including location coordinates and deceased details) and disclose the burial ground’s existence to potential property buyers. The bill exempts these grounds from most cemetery regulations under state law, clarifying they cannot be sold or monetized.
