If graves were cylindrical and vertical into the earth, instead of flat and rectangular, they would take up far less space. Much easier to dig with a tractor and an auger also instead of a backhoe. The auger would have to be about 7.5-8.0 feet in length though. Probably have to be like an oil rig and be lengthened sectionally. This would mean more graves on less land and potentially more revenue for the cemetery on the same amount of land.......

I remember a proposal that was aimed at keeping the departed useful after their passing. The idea was to bury them naked, face down, in a shallow grave with their bottom above the surface so that they could be used as bike racks.

Not only a less than minimally educated person, but stupid and out of touch as well.
Touring cemetaries in NOLA in the summertime gets a bit aromatic...... the water table down there affects the guidelines for sure.....created some interesting architecture for the dead.

If you're worried about getting max occupation per acre just do cremations.

There have been times when cemeteries were flooded and caskets floated out of the mud as well as crypts.

There's a guy in KY that was buried standing upright, with a hatchet in one hand and a fifth of whiskey in the other, so that he would be ready to meet the devil face to face.
