Thanks for the story, Tina-Kate. Thats horrible, that poor woman! Bad enough finding old bodies in your back yard, but, then to be told that she is responsible for disposing of them properly? Wow!

You're welcome.
She seems to be handling it OK. On the late TV news she seemed more optimistic & interested in the find than down re the potential costs.
There was no mention of it in the news today at all. I'll update if there is.

I remember something similar that happened when I was in 5th grade. One of my classmates family was having their backyard dug up for an in ground pool and they started finding skeletons. Their house was built in the early 1800s and the area they were digging in was the original owners family plot.
I can still recall so vividly when Tommy brought one of the skulls to school to show us all, though I don't think the teacher was particularly thrilled when she saw what he had in his hands. I had wanted to touch the skull, possibly hold it, but, it had stuff all inside it, probably roots and dirt, I was thinking brains, so, I passed on it. To this day I don't know what the outcome was with their skeletons? If they were responsible for the reburial of them or what?
