I may be wrong as I often am. But it is my understanding that even with cemeteries on private property, public access cannot be denied. I have done genealogy for over 40 years, not as long as I have been a birder. I often visit cemeteries for dead birds as well as live ones. Sometimes cemeteries are the only place around where you can get off the road to bird. If this guy is a hired caretaker, who is his boss?
