What to do if I was left deeds to cemetery plots but they tell me that I can’t sell any of them because there are people buried in 2 of the 6 plots and they are all on 1 deed?

Given the complicated matter that you have written I suggest that you have a face to face meeting with the owner of the cemetery to figure out the situation and resolve it. If the deeds that you received are worthless, then you should consult with a real estate attorney about whether the cemetery has to reimburse you fair market value for the plots.
