The old name for them was paupers grave but in Municipal Cemeteries here in the South East they are called public graves and will have unrelated burials in them. |

I'm not certain that Kath is quite complete in her explanation. Yes, you cannot put up a headstone if you haven't purchased the grave, but even if there isn't a headstone you still had to purchase the grave if you wanted a say in who was buried in it (e.g. other family members). |

If you want to erect a headstone on a grave you usually have to purchase the plot. When you do this you actually only purchase the plot for a limited period of time, usually something like 25 or 50 years. |
