Or the coffins are placed over one another, especially in the countries which don't have much land or space?

If it is imperative to bury each and everyone at a different place, will not there be scarcity of place in the countries where there is great population?

Only a small percentage of people are buried. So there's no problem.

Many people aren't buried.

You can be cremated. If cremated, you can have your ashes buried in a box (takes up much less room than a coffin) or given to your loved ones. Some ashes are sprinkled over land or sea depending on the deceased's wishes.

You can also be buried. Some family have Mausoleums or crypts. Generations of family bodies are entombed in these buildings. Or you can be buried in a cemetery (grave yard). Some are large enough to accommodate a burial plot for each coffin. Others use a stacked coffin approach. Or, sometimes you can be buried at sea.

Finally, paupers can be buried in a mass grave (big hole in ground with bodies just dumped in together).

Well I don't think people are buried on top of every other but it may be different in other countries. And most people are cremated. But during wars they use to dig a whole in the ground and put all the bodies in the hole and there you go. But i don't think it is like that today.

In my country, most of them will be cremated. Meaning body burned to ashes and put in a urn. Either place the urn in a temple or crematorium.

in many places, especially the usa,yes, each person gets their own burial plot, but also some have tombs,, which are above ground, and are in a sense stacked up,,,, then some are cremated,,,, i would imagine in very populated areas, they must often use something other then individual burial plots

It dose not matter one way or another to God... When He calls up all for Salvation or for judgment it will be in The spirit not the Flesh. Those saved for Salvation will receive new bodies and those who are judged will be consigned to eternal seperation from God in what ever form God decrees.
