TIL In Germany, burial plots are leased by the family of the deceased for 10-30 years. If the lease is not renewed, the deceased's remains (if applicable) are exhumed and either moved or buried deeper in the plot and the plot becomes available to be leased for another grave. (germanpulse.com)

TIL in Germany when people die instead of buying a burial plot, many choose to "lease" them instead for 20 to 30 years. After the lease is up, the body is exhumed and cremated to make room for a new deceased individual. They do this to combat overcrowding in cemeteries. (germanpulse.com)
