Councils will be allowed to exhume bodies and re-use graves because of a shortage of cemetery space, ministers have said.
Officials will normally be able to re-use burial plots which are more than 100 years old after seeking permission from surviving relatives.

The preferred way of re-using graves would be a "double decker"-style approach which involves lifting existing remains, deepening the grave and laying a new coffin on top.
Or, as George Carlin once suggested, use golf courses.
