I doubt they will rezone those, empty out old graves to make space for new graves seems more realistic

In Europe with a LONG history, yea I can imagine cemetery space is limited. England for sure has that problem. Military cemeteries are tight on space all over unfortunately.
Oklahoma became a state in 1907. Oklahoma City did not exist until April 22, 1889. No cemeteries here until after that date. The few Indian burial sites were just ignored I suspect.
And yea, if the family does not claim the body for burial the government will take care of it. It is really easy to spend 25 grand or more on a funeral. It makes no sense to me, but as long as I don't have to pay for it, and it is not a taxpayer funded funeral, spend what ya want.
