you're not a made a nuisance for all time by taking up valuable real estate space.
Admittedly, ground burial can be somewhat artistic even while a bit irresponsible, but internment in one of those popular tenement-style mausoleum drawers is downright grotesque.
I'm not saying all this just to be mean... but to gracefully improve the future aesthetics of our country and planet.

Graveyards have great historical and even genealogical significance. Your opinion is quite ignorant.

i made the decision to be cremated a long time ago but for none of the reasons you mention.

So? I'm not suggesting they be dug up. Just end the practice.

Just move the headstones, not the bodies.

Then, too, is the risk of embalming fluid leaking formaldehyde into soil and ground water. Toxic stuff.

I was just playing on the poltergeist plot.

Dammit, I was leaning towards cremation. Thanks for ruining it for me.

I understand we put chemicals into the body, but they still decompose and provide nutrients to plants and various other plant life, whereas burning the body takes a high degree of heat which doesn't magically just appear, it has to be transformed from another energy source.
