When cemeteries where first created they were generally put on relatively unproductive hilly ground outside of the city or town. Not sure why you think they got all the best real estate?
- TheSpiceIsLife 7y agoWho doesn't want an acreage in the hills just outside of town? Also, many towns and cities have grown, so what used to be a small hill outside of town is now, unsurprisingly, prime real estate.
- njarboe 7y agoMost cemeteries are open to the public so if they are in a city they are like parks and are very nice to have. I guess my comment is that the land a cemeteries takes up is not likely to be any more prime than any other land in a city.

- papito 7y agoThat's actually horrible because the contaminated water runs down the hill and into the town.
