Cemetery Overcrowding Around the World

In this Sept. 17, 2014 photo, relatives watch as the body of a mother and sister is exhumed to free up space for a new burial, at a nearly-full San Isidro cemetery in northern Mexico City. The woman's body was to be reburied in her husband's grave in a different area. With cemeteries rapidly reaching capacity in one of the world's biggest cities, families are forced to exhume and remove their relative's remains after a period of several years. Remains unclaimed by relatives may be reburied as unmarked loose bones beneath the fresh grave, or piled with others on exposed altars. (AP Photo/Rebecca Blackwell)
