Why can't people who live out side of NC be buried in Winston-Salem?

In Winston-Salem, as in many cities, burial regulations often require that individuals be interred in cemeteries where they have established residency or familial ties. This can be due to local laws, cemetery policies, or space limitations. Additionally, some cemeteries may prioritize the burial of local residents to serve their communities. Therefore, individuals who do not have a connection to the area may not be allowed to be buried there.
