I had a couple of pink flamingos in my yard for awhile. I named them 'Tongue' and 'Cheek'. They finally died. I think of,embarrassment.

It's probably a pet. However, you aren't going to find any record of a pet burial, and if it's an illegal human burial you aren't going to find any record of that either. If on a long shot you dig it up and it turns out to be human, then you've got a crime scene on your hands. I'm thinking it's probably a pet, but what if you dig up a baby or a fetus? My advice would be to contact your local police station and get hold of the public affairs officer or neighborhood watch liason and ask them for advice on how to handle this. They may come out and take a look. Maybe they'll want to have someone there while you dig it up. Maybe not. That's where I'd start. With a female name and a date inscribed in cement under a tree, my guess is it's not a garden stone.

In my experience, light "commercial" uses can make better neighbors than PITA people. Since no one actually lives there 24/7, things tend to settle down at night when you really want peace and quiet. Good point. A light" mostly Sunday only type of church? Or like the kind of church with evening worship (loud concert style) several times a week? "only you know what will bother you" Is this a forever home? If not then you have to consider resale. This lot had a house in front of it, power lines to the side and a potential church. Is that another empty lot to the left of you? Have you used the country appraisal site to find lots that are not built on yet? Then you can contact them to see if interested in selling? The lot we ended up on they had for 30 years. I wrote them a letter but had not sent it yet when it popped up on the MLS. Made offer same day. Never know if someone is thinking about it. Life changes.
