I am interested in the pricing and planning of cemeteries in the city. I will appreciate any help with the relevant literature. Comparative studies or thinkings are especially welcomed.
There is interesting work on cemeteries as interstitial spaces, I think it can serve you.

I formally wrote two papers about this topic, but this is historical analysis :
« La pollution par les cimetières urbains. Pratiques funéraires et discours médical à Lyon en 1777 », Histoire urbaine, 2002, n°5, p. 67-83
and
— « Environnement urbain, discours médical et résistances. Le transfert des cimetières à la fin du XVIIIe siècle », Actes du colloque des 5 et 6 avril 2013 au prieuré Saint-Cosme, 60e supplément à la Revue Archéologique du Centre de la France, Gaaf / FERACF, Tours, 2015, p. 331-446.

One issue is the theft of cemetery trust funds. This is a problem that extends well beyond cemeteries.
