Hi George,

you are right, this is something where plus codes could be useful. The size 
of cemeteries should allow to omit the first six or sometimes even eight 
character, leaving a short string like "CF+GHJ" or even just "+GHJ" to 
properly address the site of a specific grave on a cemetery, as long as the 
cemetery's location is known. This code would continue to address a site 
even when the whole cemetery gets redesigned or abandoned, making it more 
useful than "section/row/plot" in the long term.

The question is, what implementation of functionality is really necessary 
for this to be adopted? Individual people can already find out the location 
(and plus code) of a grave using their smartphones and Google Maps, then 
shorten it as necessary and pass down the code to future generations. Could 
there a need or demand for having functionality like this in a 
special-purpose app?
