The law does not seem to recognise that the owner of the rights has often long been dead by the time any of the family realise that the rights can only be transferred in this owner's lifetime. Perhaps I am naive/uninformed & it is actually common practice for the owner of grave rights to transfer them in a will??
A grave plot is real estate the same as a house or a piece of land and as such is heritable property.
It is normally covered by a residue bequest such as the one below rather than being specifically listed in a will :
“And as to all the rest, residue, and remainder of my estate, whatsoever, wheresoever, and of what nature or kind or quality soever the same may be, and not herein before given and disposed”
