This isn't true for anyone I know of.
Those that can afford it have effectively permanent plots (until the descendents die off, at least).

In Europe, one to two decades seem common with options for relatives to extend the lease. http://www.talkdeath.com/cemetery-overcrowding-leading-europe-recycle-burial-plots/ http://www.talkdeath.com/cemetery-overcrowding-leading-europ...
