Cemeteries

During the location study of a highway, every effort is made to eliminate interference with cemeteries. However, because of the topography of the State, the rough terrain may govern location consideration. Consequently, cemeteries cannot always be avoided, and the WVDOH is often confronted with the disinterment (removal) and reinterment (reburial) of graves in the cemeteries affected. For question regarding relocated cemeteries, please contact 304-558- 2822.
