I think this is fairly standard practice in much of Europe where space is scarce. Moreso in larger towns and cities than rural villages. It’s also why family tombs are common in the first place.
My grandpa’s family, for example, has shared the same cemetery plot since before ww1. That’s how you fit a whole village into one little tiny church cemetery.
