No, it doesn't. As far as a burglar is concerned, he has a
"good reason" for going through your bureau drawers. "Good
reason" is in the eyes of the beholder.

The meter reader is not trespassing, because it is legal for
him to come into your property, not because he has a "good
reason."

If the land your ancestors are buried on belongs to someone
other than you, you are tresspassing there if you don't have
their permission to be there.
