As far as I know burial plots are not reused in the US. You generally buy the plot in perpetuity.

It varies. There are sometimes problems with private or small cemeteries that are run by an association running out of funds (or the association can end up with no members left).

A search for "cemetery disrepair" returns lots and lots of local news stories.

People buried stacked is not entirely uncommon in the US though.
