A family may buy a family plot in a churchyard for more than one family member. Burials take up a lot of land. A church, especially in a town or village, may not have the space to increase the burial ground. This is one reason a cremation is encouraged nowadays. Sometimes, very ancient plots may be reused for fresh burials.
