Over 3,000,000 people die in the U.S. alone every year. I get that there are other options than burying like cremation, but it seems logical that we would have a shortage of cemetery space. Further, you don’t see cemeteries expanding or new ones being built.

One thing to keep in mind is that a lot of people who live in a city might not be from that city and will often request to be buried elsewhere.
On top of that, many larger cemeteries will often have mausoleums, both private and public that can hold hundreds of dead bodies or cremated remains.
Something that often goes unnoticed is that a lot of cemeteries have big empty areas. Most of the cemeteries in my city are like this and have wooded areas surrounding them that can be cleared if need be
