reinter (third-person singular simple present reinters, present participle reinterring, simple past and past participle reinterred)
Usage notes
- This term is equally applicable whether the new interment is into the same grave as previously (as might happen after a body is exhumed for a medical autopsy) or into a new one (as might happen if a body was originally buried in a place later deemed inappropriate).
- The spellings reintering (for reinterring) and reintered (for reinterred) exist as well, but are much less common.
