quite a few people are buried in their own gardens.

Pretty much ensures that they won’t be able to sell it.

On the conditions was to allow access to the current owners as their parents are buried on the land. Did sell though.

Although it does obviously depend on the land in question; and to be fair, it's presumably not the kind of stipulation that'd have all that long a shelf-life.

I’d be forever worrying that I couldn’t dig in the garden lest I accidentally desecrated a grave. Not only that, can I grow grass over the top? Is it disrespectful to run a lawnmower over a grave? Can I build a patio or deck in that bit of the garden? How about a shed? Will it be a problem if I want to extend the house?
Nope, not for me.

"We have been advised that part of the garden is currently rented from Leeds City Council" - I'm guessing that's the bit with the grave in it, if so you wouldn't be able to do anything with it as it'd be classed like any other plot in a council cemetery.

I’d still rather not have a corpse in my back garden, whether the council own the plot or not.

If you really want to go down that route, ask for your body to be placed in the front garden, in a gibbet for the birds.
