    In Australia, the minimum is also 6 feet down, however most grave sites counter for at least two bodies to be buried in the same spot at different times. I think the first coffin goes in at 9 foot and when the other partner dies they re-open the hole to about 7 feet down, and place them on top, so really, they are six foot down.
