Eli5 what happens if a cemetery runs out of space to bury bodies?

Cheesman Park in Denver, Colo. is how things sometimes go. The land eventually gets sold and the bodies may be moved, maybe not. regardless you can turn it into a nice park where people play with their kids and dogs on top of the ones you left behind. Another option is just to develop housing over the cemetery. There was a story on NPR that told of a family with a ghost issue and they eventually dug up old graves on the persons property. They were of a Hispanic family that was left since there was likely no money to relocate them.
