The cemeteries are Cuffeytown Cemetery in the City of Chesapeake, with 52 eligible graves; Newtown Cemetery in the City of Harrisonburg, with 400 eligible graves; Stanton Family Cemetery in Buckingham County, with 36 eligible graves; and three cemeteries in Arlington County: Calloway Cemetery, with 29 eligible graves, Lomax Cemetery, with 66 eligible graves, and Mount Salvation Cemetery, with 29 eligible graves. This bill incorporates HB 379, HB 905, HB 1234, and HB 1593 and is identical to SB 881.
