People die every day, how can they fit them all in cemetaries?

Question

We several cemetaries in our city (a big city) but hundreds of people die in our city everyday, are they piling them up within one plot?

I rode by the cemetary and thought about that...why don't they run out of room. I rarely hear about a new cemetary opening up.

Answer 1

They move caskets around all the time. When a grave caves in, they know that the body has decayed and there is a good chance that there aren't any relatives who are gonna care if the plot is resold. No seriously, more people are cremated than buried, but according to some whackos, cremation only adds to global warming, so there goes that solution.

Answer 2

curiouser and curiouser.

i guess every town has a cemetary so it spreads out, plots are also expensive, cremation is the much cheaper way to go.

edit: what rent lots, lame, defile my sacred monument, heathens.

Answer 3

A lot of people are going the way of cremation. It's much cheaper. And some donate their bodies to science, and those bodies are also cremated afterwards.

Answer 4

in some countries (usually with smaller populations) after one hundred years the old cemetry gets destroyed and they start over again...thats why i wanna be cremated! eeekk!

Answer 5

You rent the lots for a maximum of ten years then dig up the remains and incinerate them.

Answer 6

I'm giving my body to medical science so they can do with it what they want.

Answer 7
