I would imagine that the people involved with cemeteries care more, but I’d
also think that it’d be pretty hard to dig up even one grave without the one relative that does visit a neighboring grave from noticing. But maybe it is pretty common; especially over centuries or longer.
It is in fact very common, at least in some parts of the world. Once the body has decayed to the point that the cemetery’s management doesn’t feel awkward digging them up and that any living relatives have stopped paying attention there’s really nothing stopping them from re-using the plot.
