At a cemetery in Zaragoza, Spain, the threat of eviction has followed the dead to their final resting place.<br /><br />After two years of recession and unemployment above 20 per cent, the families of the deceased are being confronted with eviction notices on the tombstones of their loved ones.<br /><br />The families are told to pay for the burial leases, renewed every five years, or have the remains of the deceased moved to common ground. A fate that has befallen over 400 people in recent months.<br /><br />Combined with financial hardships, the threat of eviction is pushing more families towards cremation rather than paying the upkeep for a traditional burial or crypt.<br /><br />Al Jazeera's Tarek Bazley reports.
