I'd love to see that documentary.... I've always been fascinated by the story of Centralia. I suppose it's already been picked clean by detectorists....

I'd love to get up there before they Tear that House Down & Trash up the Yard,
But unless we get another warm spell before more Snow .
Of course they are Pretty Fast at Getting places Down before Someone Squats.
So it may already be Gone.

No the place is Not picked clean, Just Very hard to detect. Allot of Underground Pipes .
Houses Imploded into the Basements & Dozed Over & High Weeds.

It's a Land Fill type Situation in Most places

It may have been posted elsewhere, but the first 10 minutes or so of the 1987 movie Made In U.S.A. was shot in and around Centralia. Gives a brief glimpse of what things looked like when demolition was in it's infancy...

Does anyone know if the graves were moved or were they all given a free cremation?

No graves were moved with any Fanfare.
That meaning, I can't say 100% someone with the Bucks hasn't has their relative moved.
out of Paranoia that they may be feeling a bit Sweaty in their Grave .
or feeling like they are in Hell

But as far as I'm aware all Cemeteries are still complete .
and on a slow cooker.

the Bright side, the Maggots..... if they can stand the Heat....
are getting Cooked meals
