reinterred
Moved to another grave
Reinterred is the past tense of reinter—to bury a body again, typically after exhumation and transport to a new location.
Bodies are reinterred when families relocate remains to ancestral plots, when cemeteries close, or when historical figures are moved to monuments: The soldiers' remains were reinterred at Arlington with full honors.
