When a cemetery in Taiyuan, China interfered with plans for a high rise project developers offered to pay villagers to relocate the remains of loved ones. One family refused to budge.

In this case the family eventually capitulated and a platform and bridge to the gravesite were built and the four coffins and gravestones removed.
