i think cemetarys are a waste of land that could be put to better use the land is for the living ,any cmments?

Answer 1

I agree completely. Its a waste to keep land, which is often beautifully kept, just for dead bodies. This is especially problematic in the U.S. where bodies remain in the graves for an unlimited amount of time (as opposed to some parts of Europe where bodies remain in graves for a certain period of time and are then dug up so the spot can be used for a new body). The land could be used for something to benefit people who can actually benefit (people that are alive) and the bodies could be cremated. Once the body is gone the person is gone, it seems kind of archaic to keep the body around when the person is long gone.

Answer 2

In my personal opinion it's a waste of land for me. I plan on being cremated and scattered or whatever. When one of my relatives die, their body is in the grave, not their spirits. I don't visit a tombstone. I visit them in my mind and heart. They are with me, wherever I am. My parents and some others feel this way too. My mother in law visits the cemetery, maybe to her, her husband is there but to me he isn't. To each their own opinion. Think the land would be better used to serve the living such as cancer centers or the like. By the way why do people have to get so picky (snotty) over spelling. Yea so there's a spell check thing - so what. You understood the question and that's the main point. We're not getting marks for spelling lol
=P

Answer 3

It relies upon. Cemeteries have become overcrowded in the previous and having sufficient room for burials could be a controversy in specific places. In some cemeteries bodies have been buried on suitable of one yet another or the keeps to be bumped off to make room for sparkling burials. there is likewise the problem of the textile waste of the casket and the chemical compounds in touch in embalming. although, there are own and non secular clarification why a guy or woman could choose a burial. some religions require that the physique be left intact, and others experience that thank you to due own non secular ideals. additionally many experience that's significant have the flexibility to pass to the grave of their buddy. in my view, i admire graveyards and am happy they're there to pass to, yet i choose to be cremated and my ashes scattered.

Answer 4

Yes, spell check.

Also, cemeteries ARE for the living. We are the ones who feel comforted by interring our "dearly departed" in a pleasant place. The dead are certainly beyond caring.

What is truly a waste is the suburban sprawl that's taking so much valuabe farm land out of production to provide hideous McMansions.

Answer 5

The land is privately owned, providing a service to the community and income for the owners. How is that a waste?

Answer 6

these are all actually very interesting viewpoints!
This was a good question.
But yeah, what would we do with the dead bodies?
Do the bodies get laid to rest, do they lie with jewelry on their persons? What gets done with that jewelry? do the families get notified? what if no one can be notified....
hmmmmmm
I think I personally would prefer the open space than to housing or development. weird!

Answer 7

I believe you spelled "cemetarys" wrong. So, where do you propose we put the dead peoples bodies?

Answer 9

I agree completely.
