The old remains usually go to a charnel house or to a basement of a church. Under the floor of St. Stephen's Cathedral in Vienna, there are thousands of bones disinterred from Catholic cemeteries in the diocese. Sometimes the old bones (skulls) are carefully marked with a number identifying the deceased and placed artfully in a church basement/crypt. I suddenly came nose to nose with some of these in the dark in an old church crypt. It's very systematic in the Germanic countries.
