Ala. man fights to keep wife buried in front yard

I feel for both the husband and the one who has final say in this matter.

We have the wishes of the wife, which should be upheld to best of ability.
We have the fact that they own? their property.
Yes it is in city limits, however, if they're allowed the horses and pigs to roam in their front yard, there shouldn't be an argument about property value concerning the hood.
Appearance and long term care? What? It's where someone is buried.. if someone wants to be buried on a hill in the middle of nowhere, do you think it should be maintained? I don't think so.. so if it's in a yard, I think prior care that was given to the yard would fit just fine. She didn't choose it because it "appears" to be any different from the next yard, but because it was home, I am sure. Estates change hands just as well as common land. I don't see the difference.

As for the complaints, I can see where some might be appalled by it, but those people need to look deeper inside themselves and ask if they really want to be buried with hundreds of other dead people. Personally, I want to be buried out at sea, food for the sharks. Or in the woods somewhere where there isn't any markers. On my own land would be great, but like I said before, land changes hands and I don't want someone stumbling upon my grave and freak out.
