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.
In some families where we own the plots forever (really forever!), we reuse the graves. If a grave is needed, we open an older plot, sweep aside any bone fragments, and bury the next cadaver.
