I have read that people buried in Germany and other European countries often have their remains removed after 20-30 years. Then the same plot is used for another body. Where do the bones go after they are removed from the plot? Thanks! Diane

I think that's true. My grandmother's 30 years are going to be up pretty soon, so my aunt in Germany has contacted my mother about what they will do. But I don't know what happens to the remains if the family gives up the gravesite. Maybe some of our German subscribers will know??
