    3. What were the 19th century burial practices in Germany?  I suppose they were buried in the church cemetery.  Did they have long-lasting markers such as we have? My family lived in a small town, Herda, Thuringen and were poor.  Any chance of finding a marker from 1850-1900 if such things existed?  I read that some country had plots leased for 100 yrs, then they were reused but don't remember if that was Germany.

    3. The leases run more for about 20-25 years. And the family is not allowed to lease the same plot again unless they have someone who died that they want to bury. ----- Original Message ----- From: "BF" To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, January 21, 2010 8:21 AM Subject: [G-P-L] Burial practices What were the 19th century burial practices in Germany?

    3. I don't think that is true all over Germany.
