If his original plans of building a 19 foot mausoleum on the property came to fruition, it wouldn't be a 'pauper's grave', would it? He wants to be buried there too, and the local population specifically doesn't want a monument built to attract tourists.
As for the whole thing being a tax avoidance scheme:
The golf course is already registered as a farm (true story) so is only taxed at $6 an acre rather than $462 an acre. Perhaps the idea is to subdivide the golf course and include the clubhouse in the cemetery plot.
You've seen the picture. It's a pauper's grave. Until he actually does otherwise his supposed intent does not make it a mausoleum.
