Property surprise, Found Cemetery In The Woods. A Strange Discovery

It was Sunday, and I was surveying raw land. There's a strange surprise found in the forest. At first, I didn't believe what I saw; I thought it was a perk test. Hollow ground, three rows of them and large rocks in a row. What did I find?

It's not much to look at, but there are at least six bodies in this poorly marked cemetery. Property maps going back to the 1950s include a cemetery on the plat. However, I hadn't been able to find it before today.

I'm going to research the names and cemetery to get good markers. It's important to show respect, making sure the site is respectable for any visiting family (dead or alive.) There are six large rocks with a small rock about six feet below. Some have a small metal graver marker.

As far as I can tell, there were no headstones. Simply a rock at the head, a smaller one at the foot. And the alignment of sunken areas means they are old graves. One label was from the 1930s. What would you do?
