Graves to be removed
In The Netherlands (and many other places in Europe) graves are leased, and old graves can be removed after the lease has expired to make room for new ones (you can read more about this practice in the latest edition of the Trace your Dutch roots newsletter). When the cemetery plans to remove a grave they will contact the family to invite them to extend the lease on the grave. If they can't reach the family's contact person, they will put up a notice at the notice board at the entrance, and place a sign at the grave, stating the grave is about to be removed.
