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.

Yes, there have been instances of individuals being buried in glass coffins, though they are quite rare.
