environmentally friendly family?

These days you have to tell the funeral director how many you want buried on the site before the first burial. These days it is a maximum of three.(Australia) In the past when graveyards were small sometimes attached to the church or small town cemeteries I don't think there was any restriction. But there would have been a limit or a bloody big hole.

See that, 2 have a different plot number. In the photo of the cemetery, it appears to now be a lawn cemetery maybe all the plots or rows were gathered together. It's opened to the public. I suppose the council has it staffed by volunteers. Why don't you send an email and ask them.
