>cemetery doesn't have to maintain your grave in perpetuity after your death
If the cemetery has charged you more for such service and made it a part of the contract obviously they have to honor it. Of course, there will always be a "reasonable effort" clause. If there is a flood, earth quake or foreign invasion the cemetery might not be able to keep its promise.
I think the underlying principle is not as much about "perpetuity" as it is about whether the contract with dead must be honored even years later. I think it should be and that is the whole point of having contracts. Of course subject to reasonable efforts.

If the owner of a cemetery stops maintaining a grave, a random person doesn't have standing to sue. In reality what's happening is closer to honoring contracts with the still living relatives of the dead.
