Can you transfer cemetery lots in your will?

Through probate I have acquired lots bought by my parents, but are unused. What
is the simplest way to transfer them to the cemetery association that is over the
cemetery where the lots are located?

You can transfer anything you own in your will, so you could certainly will the lots to the cemetary association in your own will.
Or you could simply call/contact the association and ask if they are willing to purchase the lots from you, or even to accept them as a gift from you. If they are, a simple contract reciting the terms will suffice to transfer them. Not to take business away from a fellow lawyer, but you don't need an attorney for this.
