Thornapple Township does not re-purchase lots from current owners. You must establish ownership rights to any lot used for a burial. If a lot is owned by a deceased relative, you must show proof from all descendants of your right to the lot. Those wishing to transfer lot ownership should complete a transfer form. The transfer of burial rights for any lot is $25 per transfer to cover processing expenses.
