A couple weeks ago i was at a cemetery and there were headstones very close to the road that winds around the interior, like 2 feet or less from it. How are people buried there? Surely the didn’t put the road over them😅 my only guess was maybe cremated remains or maybe infants🫤 i can’t seem to find a solid answer online or from family.

Vertical burial. Cremation. Non-burial memorial. Pathway built over old grave. Headstone been moved. Take your pick.
Consider that it’s likely the cemetery was there before the road expansion. Just another dirty secret we all prefer to ignore, but if those bodies were buried before 1890, they are not encased in vaults and have migrated, floated, merged more than we realize. Cities tell you they are responsibly relocating the loved ones, but doubtful… they are under that road, etc.
if you notice, in US anyway…. Cemeteries are really near creeks, rivers, moving water for this reason. The bodies would be surfacing as the water changes the landscape over time.
