On BBC news this morning they were talking about re burying remains deeper so others can be put on top!
I shall be cremated.

In Philippines if you don't pay the rent, they remove the remains and use space for a new body!

Now they're moaning that extra land is too expensive and complicated to buy.
Rubbish !
If we can afford to send billions abroad every year to be squandered by corrupt governments, then the least we can do is to honour our dead by buying a few fields to lay them to rest in.
A relative of mine was buried in a Church cemetery on the IOW, on 12 Sep 1940,
in 1965 the church asked permission to remove the headstone to make a garden area,
Someone said yes (I would not have)
within 5 years it was tarmac ked over as a car park, and the headstone "lost"

It's a disgrace......didn't anyone inform you about the plans ?
I'd have been very upset and angry.
Hi Peter, it was an uncle of mine who gave permission, it was his
grandmother, my G Grandmother, I only found out when I became into family history and went looking for the grave, they first told me the headstones were kept but when I and a church warden looked for then nothing there.
A local solicitors family did refuse permission and their 2 graves are still there.
Like most things too late once its done.

Joe, the relatives have to pay and if they fail the remains are to the dogs as they say!even after death you still have to pay
