If not, how can you be sure nobody's buried under your house?

It is a waste of land, and it allows for people to go and visit the bodies of dead loved ones as though those people were still around. That's not healthy. You can be sure that my corpse won't be taking up any space when I die, not in the ground, not on a shelf. Just ashes into the dumpster, and everyone gets on with their lives.

No - grieving families often want a place to go to feel close to the deceased person. Also, the back of some cemeteries have been found to be repositories of seeds for native plants that have been squeezed out of almost every where else that they used to grow. Native prairie plants, for example, are sometimes found there and nowhere else. They can hold important genetic material to help make our food plants hardier and more resistant to disease and drought.
As to whether someone is buried under your house - the title search should have shown that. I had one title search on a house that showed ownership back almost 150 years, to when the land was granted to a homesteader.
And one more thing - if you live next to a cemetery, you always have quiet neighbors...

No I don`t believe so, in life the body is a sacred thing and so in death it should be respected and cemeteries should be places of quiet and dignified behavior that reflects the sacredness of those who have died.

Not at all. If you didn't have them you have bodies decaying all over the place. Not very nice unless hmm you ate them.....
