Toronto-area man still not buried 8 months after death amid graveyard dispute | CBC News

Louis Tsotos, left, died of COVID-19 complications on Jan. 15. Since then his daughter Lisa, right, has been fighting to have him buried in a plot owned by the family at a Richmond Hill, Ont., cemetery.

And despite a court order directing that the Toronto-area man be buried in a family-owned plot at the Headford Cemetery, members of the Tsotsos family, alongside the Bereavement Authority of Ontario , remainThe BAO and family say the landowner and representatives from the Nativity of the Mother of God Orthodox

The Nativity of the Mother of God Orthodox Church and adjoining cemetery in Richmond Hill are owned by September 12 Inc. The Tsotsos family says it has provided maps and ground-penetrating radar scans confirming the location of the grave, which had been marked and already bears a headstone with the family name.Yet in an email to the Tsotsos family's lawyer, Rev. Art Lambert, who is also a lawyer, said he is legally representing September 21 when it comes to the burial conditions. Lambert's exact role within the church remains unclear.

"The cemetery owner thinks it has a legal and moral duty to ensure that when a family buys a burial plot in the cemetery, that family gets to use the plot. Otherwise, no one is protected from losing the family's grave or discovering strangers in a parent's grave," the email said.

The BAO is going to have to pay particular attention to cemetery properties that are sold to numbered companies... I feel there may be some land speculation behind this situation.

Get your ducks in a row way before you go. Wake up call.

Who writes this crap? Unions use younger workers like slaves so the senior workers do nothing but complain to management. It’s about time! Young people’s concerns have often been ignored solely because of age, which makes this so much more important. Our forefathers fled communism and these fools want it back
