Somewhat off topic, but eventually I think cremation will be made MANDATORY in the US.
(Maybe not in MY lifetime, but eventually....yes.)

Real Estate/ Land is prime $$$ especially your bigger cities! And well, dead people are not! (Except to the ONE that gets the contract!)

Until recently, I had no idea that they were burying people 3-6 deep, depending on the orig. burial!! Such as for instance, say your Aunt was burried and all the plots around were full of family members or taken, but you wanted to bury Uncle with or by her. Well, if you "cremate" dear ole' Uncle, then he now can be buried on top of Auntie!!!! Seriously. In the same plot.

Well I had no flippin idea this went on!!!!!! So technically, if the original burial IS cremation, then I wonder what number they stop at for other loved ones remains to be buried in that same plot?? Because a family of 6 could easily be buried in one plot if they all choose cremation....but where does it end? What is the "limit" and WHO decides???......or is it up to the individual Cemetary?

Just morbidly curious! lol!
