The population is increasing exponentially....in 50 years at our current rate of growth, we'll be at 10 billion souls. Where indeed will we put everyone....probably mandatory to be cremated at that point.

burn them (which might become more popular), or just keep burying them. I mean, when you consider how long humans have been burying their dead, you'd think we'd have run out of space already. The bodies probably decompose after a certain amount of time, or they might be buried in old graveyards, once the markers are gone or illegible.

I really dont think we will ever run out of room, maybe sometime in the future, but by then people are saying that the world will not even exist, there will be no sun, or anything. Thats just the same with garbage, around here we have garbage hills, what are we going to do when everywhere gets full and there is no where to put it. But as far as the bodies, I dont think we will ever run out of room.

Because of DNA and Stem Cell research, we will have a way of recycling the bodies so no graveyard will ever be needed.

With the size of the earth's land masses we will never run out of space.

Burn them. Lots of old communities did this already in the early days. It makes space and it will kill the bugs also!! Dust to dust, but in a much quicker way!

that's not going to happen, graveyards can be dug up every 100-150 years depending on the state and or country. and then they put in more, someplaces they just pile them in the same hole

Small question for big mind.
Are you worried about yours or theirs ??
It disintegrates all except the skeletons after merely 6 months. The skeleton can last centuries, but it will be dug out and dismantled or collected and cremated.

The same as many other countries are doing. We will dig them up and burn them.
You can only be buried 7 years in mexico than they cremate your body and store you heard a while longer in underground vaults.
It's silly to bury bodies when they should be cremated.
The only reason for burial is for the enrichment of funeral homes, and preachers.

Stop thinking about the dead and keep living.
