Are we running out of usable land?
As for me, I'm booked to be planted in a country graveyard several miles outside a small town. A nice and peaceful spot between two mobile homes...

I'm honor-bound as an OTer to ask for pictures of her at this point, but with the following caveat: from the 1970s or 1980s ONLY!
We have been married for almost 45 yrs. I didn't get that far by posting pics of her on da net.

After one generation, if you are lucky to even get that, no one visits your grave anymore and you'll fade into memory anyway.
Not to mention that visiting your grave isn't enhanced by being in a cemetery anyway. Or, somewhat selfishly, that you get anything out of your grave being visitable; you're dead anyway.

I beg to differ, I found this gem of y'all from 1983.

Because the only thing that scares people more than death is the realization that, ultimately, very few of us will ever be remembered for more than a generation or two after we die.
The other thing people don't think about when "leaving a legacy" is that in 7 generations any DNA they pass down will be less than 1% of that of any descendant. Your descenants by then have not much more in common with you than somebody random. You are only remembered or have family that remember you for a generation or two unless you are famous and even then the folks Jay Leno used to quiz on Jaywalking wouldn't remember you anyway.

Because the sanitation laws being what they are, just throwing your mom's body into a pile at the dump is frowned upon.

Ding, ding, ding. Proper disposal of rotting corpses is a pretty big deal when it comes to preventing spread of diseases in cities. I don't know if the argument holds up if you live out in the boondocks, though.
I DO know that in the state of Louisiana, it's illegal to bury a body on your own. A funeral director must be involved to make sure you do everything properly (i.e. get paid). You can't just bury on your property, either. You have to register the plot of land with the state and establish it as a private cemetery, soooo, still a cemetery.

And when the Earth inevitably ceases to have the ability to support life anymore, nothing that ever happened on this planet will matter.

Going to Ireland, and visiting the grave of my badass IRA great great uncle was awesome. That's why.

He is asking, why cemeteries as the means to do this?
It would make infinitely more sense to cremate, rather than bury us in boxes in the ground.

But then I might land on your sandwich. See poem above.

Based on the math thread, and how difficult it is for us humans to embrace change involving a teaching method, much less a human body disposal method...
cemetery owners have several more generations of income.

This is why I don't want to be buried. At some point we'll need that land and I'd prefer my body not be at the hands of whatever rich man bought up my cemetery.
Cremation for me.
