Canada - Quebec
Something to keep in mind in wandering Quebec cemeteries: In Quebec, cemetery plots are by law not purchased, but leased for 99 years. At the end of the lease, a notice is published in local newspapers, listing the surnames of the plots about to expire.
If no one comes forward to renew the lease, the deceased is dug up, reburied a few feet deeper and the plot is available for a new burial. The inscription on any tombstone is sandblasted off and will be reused in situ. I have no idea what this means in terms of burial records, but would hope these "transfers" are recorded and the early burials remain documented.
While I have seen this reported in the national news, I have received word that this is not necessarily so in all cemeteries in Quebec. Apparently, in Notre Dame des Neige Cemetery in Montreal, the right of perpetuity exists. I would appreciate comment on this topic from others in Quebec.
