The purpose of this legislation, known as the Small Cemetery Conveyance Act, is to update existing laws to allow the U.S. Secretary of Agriculture to transfer ownership of certain cemetery lands to qualified individuals or organizations without requiring payment. This aims to ensure that these lands can be preserved and maintained as cemeteries. Key provisions of the Act include the ability for the Secretary to convey parcels of land that are currently or were previously used as cemeteries, including small adjacent areas of up to one acre.
