DURATION OF INTERNMENT BEFORE EXHUMATION: THIS IS FROM 2017
Sao Miguel Council de Ponta Delgada, (and it looks like pretty much the rest of the island): extended to 30 Years death Pico, Graciosa, Faial: extended to 30 Years after death in some juristictions, or dependent upon "Families need for space in their designated lot" in others Flores: dependent upon "Families need for space in their designated lot" (MANY GRAVES EXIST ON FLORES AND CORVO FROM 19th CENTURY. MORE SO THAN ANY OTHER ISLANDS) Sao Jorge Councils de Calheta e Velas: dependent upon "Families need for space in their designated lot" It appears that the "7 years" commonly discussed here is no longer in effect. In Sao Miguel for example, I have been informaed that people who died in 1987 are presently being exhumed, and the graves being re-opened. Thought this may interest some.....
