ATLANTA — One of Atlanta’s oldest cemeteries has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, months after the state fined it $50,000 over allegations involving graves being disturbed and people buried in the wrong locations.
Greenwood Cemetery was fined after allegations that as many as 20 people were buried in the wrong graves, officials said.
State investigators returned in September over concerns the cemetery was not taking steps to correct the problems.
Chick-fil-A founder Truett Cathy is among those buried at Greenwood Cemetery, officials said.
The cemetery is reportedly continuing to operate during the bankruptcy proceedings.
