Back to EpisodesReusing Graves: Law Commission's Burial Law Update
Description
The Law Commission proposes updating burial laws in England and Wales to address cemetery space shortages. Key changes include allowing grave reuse, protecting war graves, and managing uncollected ashes. Relatives have one year to object to grave reuse, with automatic protection for war graves. Remains must be fully skeletal, shifted deeper, and new coffins placed above with at least two feet of soil. The government will review the recommendations before responding.
