home burial
Yard grave plot
Home burial is the practice of burying a deceased person on private property rather than in a public cemetery.
Legal in most U.S. states with varying restrictions, it appeals to those seeking simplicity, lower costs, or a more intimate farewell: The family chose home burial on the farm where he'd lived his whole life.
The term also names a famous Robert Frost poem about a couple grieving their child's grave visible from their window.
