In Newcastle Tyne & Wear some years ago several graves were exhumed.
They were in a graveyard bordered by Jesmond Road and Sandyford Road.
The City had need to widen Jesmond Road. This necessitated the graves near
the cemetery wall being exhumed. Tall scaffolding polls were erected above the
cemetery wall and from each poll to the next was attached tarpaulin> The purpose
of this was so that travellers on the upper deck of passing buses would be spared
the sight of this. The occupants of the exhumed graves were reinterred in
All Saints Cemetery on the other side of Jesmond Road.

The grave of King Richard 3rd was concreted over to provide a car park.

There is a company called Necropolis Ltd which is much used by those who need to change what some believe are permanent arrangements.

According to what we heard in our RE classes, we'd all rise up 'on the last day'.

Maybe Jesus had the right & sensible idea that three days in the grave were adequate.

Brexit already moans about the overcrowding.
In Cairo the mausoleums are popular to live in no 3 day qualification needed.
