A question about the town of North Judson’s policy on buying back grave plots was raised during this week’s town council meeting.
Tuesday night, Clerk-Treasurer Andrew Rowe alerted members that an individual recently came into the Clerk’s Office and inquired about selling back two graves that he purchased for $350 each since his plans have changed and he no longer intends to be buried in town.
Town Council President Wendy Hoppe informed Rowe that the town cannot buy back the graves. She said it would be the current owner’s responsibility to sell them to another interested party. Councilwoman Jane Ellen Felchuck suggested taking down the individual’s information to refer others to him.
Rowe said he would keep the policy in mind and relay that information to anyone else who comes in with similar requests.
