What is a Right to Inter, and how does it differ from a burial lot purchase?

In past years, cemeteries sold burial "lots". However, this wording was somewhat misleading as cemeteries were not selling the actual ground, but rather the right to use a specific lot within the cemetery for burial purposes by the purchaser. To clarify the transaction, cemeteries now call this a "Right to Inter". It gives the purchaser the same right; which is an exclusive right to a plot for the purposes allowed by these Regulations; however, title to the real estate remains with the Town.

The Right to Inter document can also be recorded at the Belknap County Registry of Deeds providing notice of your ownership and Right to that lot. Individuals who have previously purchased "lots" by a cemetery deed may surrender that deed to the Trustees who will prepare a Right to Inter so that your ownership may be recorded at the Registry of Deeds. Contact the Cemetery Trustees to covert your current deed.
