Now that's a bad oeconomy, when they evict you post mortem

Plea to save World War I Lancashire Fusilier remains
A historian is appealing to the relatives of a Lancashire World War I soldier after the Spanish authorities placed an eviction notice on his grave.

Sir Gilbert Mackereth, whose body is buried in a San Sebastian cemetery, will be exhumed and disposed of due to unpaid taxes on the plot.
Isn't that rather awful, that they can just boot out and dispose of the remains based on unpaid fees?
