Just for information, in Europe people are buried in a 8 x 8 plot, I mean
dozens, what they do is take up the bones of those buried for a long time
and put them in a bag and set them in one corner. This is a procedure that
has been going on for centuries.

Don (just came back from CR and found my ancestors going back to my 4th gr.
grandfather all in one plot.
