Burial Sites?

In Bluefield, West Virginia, Ordinance Sec. 22-39 regulates where a body may be buried in the town cemetery. It does not set off spaces or a grid or anything like that, though. The ordinance states, "No person shall bury or cause to be buried any body in any of the avenues, roads, alleys or unsurveyed spaces within the cemetery or bury or cause to be buried any body in any lot in the cemetery of which he is not the owner or for which he shall not have the consent of the owner."

So, you are not allowed to bury someone IN THE ROAD in the town cemetery. Did they have a problem with people being buried IN THE ROAD? Or is the road so bumpy that people wondered????
