I do have some questions however which I hope someone can help me with. > > South Australia seems to have a 99 year rule on their cemeteries which I only became aware of when visiting the State with the view of taking photo's. The one particular cemetery I visited had re-used the plot, removed the old headstone but fortunately took a photo of it before they did, these photo's are held on file.
