what happens to the graves that are over 50 years?

Question

i was wondering what if the world ran out of places to but graves then where do we put them? how do they know wen is the right time to dig them bak up? is it really skeletons under the graves?

Answer 1

Well when we dig them back up where are we going to put the remains? It takes longer than 50 years for a human body to decay fully you know. Skeletons will remain for hundreds of years, thousands if they have the right conditions.

Eventually we'll have to start cremating everyone, exaserbating the global warming problem.

Answer 2

We are supposed to get a "Deed" or "Certificate of Sale" when we buy a grave. As long as we have that document, we can decide what to do with it and no one else can decide for us. It's a property like any other. What the cemetery workers usually do is they dig up the remains after five years and put them into a bag on the sides, so they can keep burring others from the same family in the same grave.

Answer 3

I know that in Europe you buy the grave for only 15-20 years.they bury someone else next to or on top of the old bones.
My grandmother died during the depression of the 1930's in the states,my mom and aunt where young girls with no money so the state burried my grand-mother and later dug her up and put in a freeway.

Answer 4

yes its said in muslims that when the day of judgement will come and the trumpet will b blown 70 deads will b coming out of each grave so there will b lots of skeletons
