There is a report in today's Daily Telegraph (available online) that the
government is considering changing the law to permit old graves to be
reused.

I thought they had been doing that for some time?

I suspect they're thinking of over-ruling any remaining property
rights to graves which have not had burials for many years, so that
when you eventually find the location of your long-lost granny's grave
there will be a stranger in with her and a new headstone on it.
