Thank you for posting this.
It is sad that we all think we are entitled to a piece of the earth for eternity. Not only is it a huge waste of money but a huge waste of land. If everyone who ever lived had a marked grave reserved for them forever, there would be no land left for the people who are living right now.
It is the ultimate sense of entitlement.
By the way caskets cost like 5 grand or something too. I was there when we were picking one out for my grandma I think that was the price of hers and it was on the cheaper side. My grandma pre bought her plot, but it still cost 10 grand to do a funeral that really wasn't elaborate or anything, mainly the basic stuff. If it were up to just me, things would have been different.

Graves get reused eventually or the graveyard gets reused as a whole (at least that's how things have happened in my country thusfar). Funny half the people ITT seem to be saying we've got loads of resources. Also FWIW a graveyard isn't wasted space - it's basically a park with memorial stones. People use it to walk, jog; it's a good space for wildlife, trees prosper.
- Double_Cast 13y agoI feel that wanting to be preserved in a casket & grave is sort of morbid anyway. I'd rather decompose under a tree or something, in keeping with the "circle of life" meme.
