They are not supposed to be abandoned. When my father died in 2004, I paid a 
sum to the Jewish community in Copenhagen for perpetual maintenance of the 
grave. This is in contrast to my (non-Jewish) mother's grave at the 
neighbouring regular cemetery where I pay an annual fee, and if the payments 
stop, the grave is subject to being re-used after some reasonable period (10 or 
20 years I think).

This is also why the Jewish cemetery has stringent requirements regarding the 
foundation for the stone etc. The guy in charge told me that they work to a 
500-year standard.

Cheers,
Nathan
