Actually, some cemeteries allow this. The plots are usually "double-decker" style, where the first decedent is buried deeper, creating the remaining space for the second decedent. This is more common in spousal plots.

What do you do if a Jewish person dies and gets cremated instead of buried in a Jewish cemetery?
There is nothing you can do about that, other than be respectful.
Can you be buried in a national cemetery if you already own cemetery property?
Yes. Owning a burial site does not mean that you MUST be buried there, any more than owning a house means you must live there. In both cases, you (or your heirs) can sell the property, let it be used by someone else, or just let it sit there. All U.S. honorably discharged veterans have a right to be buried in a military cemetery if they so desire. If any such veteran had cemetery property at the time of death, the heirs would have to decide what to do with it.

How do you find the plot of someone buried in St. Joseph's Cemetery Cork Ireland?
you need to know the exact date of death and their name. then you can check out the records at the Cork Archives or go see the caretaker at the cemetery. The cemetery was expanded a number of times, the sections may have been renumbered, and some of the records are missing. Also, a lot more people were buried in graves than allowed technically (if you could push a stick in the ground down so far room for another) so you may not find them listed at all. good luck
Where was Isaac Ikey Solomon buried please Hobart?
According to Wikipedia..."Solomon died on 3 September 1850, and was buried the next day in the Jewish cemetery in Harrington Street, Hobart. His estate was worth no more than £70. What remained of the little Jewish Cemetery in Harrington Street, (possibly the oldest Jewish Cemetery in Australia) was bulldozed in 2002. It had been officially closed in 1872 and, following the site becoming property of the state in 1945, what memorials remained were removed as an apartment complex was built on the site over the next decade.[12][12] - Judith Sackville-O'Donnell: He was buried in Hobart in the old Jewish cemetery in Harrington Street, which was recently just rediscovered under a block of housing. Two years ago this public housing was pulled down, and underneath they found the old Jewish cemetery, including the remains of Ikey Solomon. The skeletons were removed and reburied in the main cemetery at Cornelian Bay.
