It would depend who owns the cemetery. If its a local authority, then you will be able to get a copy from the local authority, if its a church or other private organisation you will need to contact them. Anyone who owns a cemetery must keep proper records of not only who owns the plots but who is interred (buried) in them.
It is somewhat time consuming, but pretty straight forward.
You contact the Cemetery in question and they will send you a form that you will need to have notarized and sent back with a fee set by the Cemetery.
If the owner of the Deed is deceased, the nearest living relative will need to request the replacement Deed and provide a list of heirs.
We requested one recently that led to them contacting each of the heirs asking for a certified letter to be returned to them.
A cemetery deed is a legal document. It is a deed for the plot or plots you purchased.
At our cemetery we would charge you $50.00 to transfer your cemetery property to your daughter. It is just a matter of filling out a transfer form... listing the location of the property and you signing the paperwork. She would then receive a deed in her name. That would give her full ownership and you would no longer have any interest or rights in that property. We also have a "permission to use form." On that form you would just be giving her the right to use the cemetery space but you would still own it. There is no charge to do this.
Contact the recorder at the link provided below for instructions to obtain a copy of your deed.

See Oak Park Cemtery v. Donaldson, 148 S.W.2d 994 (Tex.Civ.App.-Galveston 1940, writ dismissed). Plots are a right of burial, akin to an easement, license, or privilege.Texas Health & Safety Code §711.039 describes the requirements for properly transferring plots: "Unless a plot owner who has the exclusive right of sepulture in a plot and who is interred in that plot has made a specific disposition of the plot by express reference to the plot in the owner's will or by written declaration filed and recorded in the office of the cemetery organization: … the owner's children, in order of need, may be interred in any remaining graves, niches, or crypts of the plot without the consent of a person claiming an interest in the plot."Richard Poulosrs_poulos@yahoo.com
Former Texas Governor Mark Wells White does have a plot at the Texas State Cemetery in Austin, but hasn't been assigned a plot yet for some reason.
Certified copies of your deed are usually requested for some legal transaction such as a sale or mortgage or evidence in a court case. Entities who don't have access to the land records usually will request certified copies of land records to make certain the documents are complete.
You can visit the land records office where the deed was recorded and obtain a copy. You may be able to access those records online and print your deed from your home computer.
In the past, people called that area a graveyard. Today, it is more common to call the burial area a cemetery. One piece of a cemetery is a grave or a grave plot, meaning a plot of ground with a set size that is sold as a plot for burial purposes. A person or family can buy one or more plots in a cemetery. Most people who buy 2 or more plots buy them side by side as a family plot.
Thomas Edison was buried in the family plot at Rosedale Cemetery in West Orange, New Jersey.
The responsibility will depend on how the policy is written, and the cemetery rules. Carefully read over the policy as well as the paperwork for the plot ownership to get a better feel of how the paperwork was written.
