Depends on the contract. Cemeteries do exactly that.

  Differs from country to country I think. And even in some of those countries where grave leases are indefinite, they are eventually going to have to face the fact that as the population of earth grows there will be less and less available space for new graves, and at some point they will likely have to change the rules to allow for grave reuse even in a lot of places that currently have graves last “forever”. For example: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-06-28/cemetery-space-is-filling-up-is-grave-reuse-the-solution/100205348 https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-06-28/cemetery-space-is-fil... Norway: > § 8. Protection time for grave and burial site. > A grave can be used for a new burial when at least 20 years have passed since the last burial and the articles of association for the burial site do not stipulate a longer protection period. > Urns can still be put in a coffin grave even if the protection period according to the first paragraph has not expired. > When a burial site is closed, it must be protected for at least 40 years after the last burial. From https://lovdata.no/lov/1996-06-07-32/§8 https://lovdata.no/lov/1996-06-07-32/§8 and translated using Google Translate with additional manual correction of one word that Google Translate misinterpreted.

    In a eastern european country the grave is leased for 7 years. After this period if you don't extend the lease, it will be leased to somebody else. You can burry anybody there but i think that there is a period of time before you can burry the next one.
