Burr Oak Cemetery to reopen

November 17, 2009 (CHICAGO) Burr Oak in Alsip has been closed for public visitation since July.

Four cemetery workers are charged with removing or double-stacking bodies to resell grave plots. They've pleaded not guilty.

Burr Oak officials say they're implementing a limited visitation process for the first week of the re-opening to ensure a safe and orderly opening.

Visitors will need tickets to see their loved ones' grave sites and will be bussed onto cemetery property.
