reinternment
Burying again elsewhere
Reinternment is the act of burying human remains again, typically after exhumation or transfer from another location.
Remains may be reintered when moved to a family plot, repatriated to a homeland, or relocated due to construction: The soldier's remains were reintered at Arlington with full military honors.
