I mean if you're going for the environmental route... Why not cremate bodies and use their ashes to plant trees in=cemetery=beautiful park.
SakuriRainne
Most of my family was cremated. They don't take a whole lot of space. Did move Grandpa to the bathroom to make room for the new TV though.

This is done in some countries

I think the Koreas actually do or did this because their land is so rocky and mountainous, it's harder to dig long than deep

Dispose of the dead. Turn cemeteries into urban forests.
Mewlies
In most parts of the world they do not load bodies with preservatives and put in lacquered wood coffins... (1/2)
At most a simple wood coffins are used and bodies are expected to decompose in 3 to 7 years thus leaving space available later. (2/2)
A friend of mine is a funeral director, and apparently the reason we embalm is public health. Could be diseases in the body.
RSB1292
Corpses really aren’t dangerous, as long as they’re fresh and as long as the person did not die due to an infectious disease. Embalming 1/n

My old history teacher told us that this is how German troops who died during the (definitely first, not sure about second) World Wars 1/3
are buried in France, not sure if this is true for all cemeteries though. He also said that they were buried all facing towards Germany 2/3
so they can march back to the motherland after death. No idea if there’s any truth in this mind you, he was an odd eccentric! 3/3

Slice the body in half, and then you only need to dig a slightly wider hole of medium depth!

"You'll get my guitar and the cheese knife. I don't want a coffin. Bury me standing and you'll save a lot on the plot. (2/?)"
"Also, just bury me half way and you'll save on the headstone too." Sadly, He left me his guitar, the cheeseknife AND 20K (3/?)
...so I buried him the "normal way". I hope he forgives me. Though, the guitar was broken, the cheese knife is still OK. Besides, (4/?/)

We’d need some new coffins with some sort of restraint for the body. Or the carbonite idea.

Vikings buried their dead. I know, I was devastated to learn this, too. I'm putting a clause in my will for the burning boat thing.

Donation to science is usually tough to get into. If you go to a non SCI funeral home for cremation it’s normally more affordable.

Jacob12jr
Also the body won’t stand upright on its own while it’s being buried. It would crumple due to gravity without some kind of rigging or harnes
Too complicated
Dankking
We should just cremate everyone
Perhaps we could put them in a rigid box of some kind that could prevent this.
cavedoge
In that case, why don't we have bunk bed graves?!
UserSaysAsUserDoes
We tend to bury 2-3 people in a plot though, so it’s probably the same density of bodies. Tesselation of people is basically piling sticks!
Now if you were to get everyone into a foetal position you’d halve the length of a plot and still stack 3 in there, higher density
But why stop there, 2 people can wrap around each other in slightly more space than 1 foetal position, so now there’s 6 in that plot
To be even more efficient we could remove all the water, which takes up 70% or a persons space, BAM 20 i n the space of 3
But why do they need to be in one shape, cut them up and stack them better could probably get another two in there!

I want to be buried like a vampire in their coffin though, vertically would be perfect!

With one leg straight and the other bent at a 45 degree angle and one arm under the pillow.
Indeed, that is the correct way to sleep.
Custom coffins for lefties and righties.
6 feet is the depth to keep the smell of death from surfacing isn't it? Graves would need to be dug about 8 feet deeper on average.
I was thinking that too

Its about depth. You want a body to be a certain distance under the ground. If your standing you have to dig deeper.
Haviduck
Also i guess its harder to dig a thin, deep grave
yogoo0
I'd rather be buried under a tree. Could have a graveyard that turns into a park or a grove. A more morbidly beautiful/poetic way I think
Most graveyards are parks, at least around here. Particularly if the headstones are kept small. Grass trees lakes... Just no swingsets
Then again, the old folks burried there probably prefer kids keep off thier lawn.
They aren't really parks so much as a sacred site. I mean parks as people will come make a day out of going to instead of just visits
Our dead deserve honor, I'd rather be honored by people that will use my tree than by being remembered by a carving of my name
Kiopho
Yeah, I will never understand the "resting" part. They're not resting, they're dead. Just a bunch of meat rotting away..
It's a fucking pile of meat and bones. Christians remove blood and pump them full of chemicals, staple their eyes shut, dress them up ...
in an uncomfortable suit... Why aren't they in pajamas, if they wanna rest? Tongue and cheek.
LoneOrtolan
I honestly thought it was due to the bodies being dug up by animals after death, and that 6 feet down would stop most common scavengers.
I know it's not a huge issue now what with sealed metal caskets, but it probably is a carry-over from when it mattered.
DanOrtega
This comes from a time when people never slept standing while waiting at the bank, or during a bus ride.

RachTrap
Just use a different piece of equipment. Like a claw type thing that opens stabs the earth clamps and pulls out a perfect cylinder of dirt.
They do this though. Family members interned in the one plot
tharty
You'd still end up needing a deeper hole. Specified minimal burial depth helps prevent stuff like corpses being disinterred by flooding
Done all the time in construction. I doubt many are hand-dug, but in poorer areas/countries, you're right. May be a problem. Then your idea.

To add, wouldn’t the souls of the dead already be in paradise? So the rapture wouldn’t affect them in any way...
With this logic (ignoring people's feeling, respect about the remains of their dead), everyone should be cremated or composted.

Seventh Day Adventists (and maybe Jehovah's Witnesses? Correct me if I'm wrong,) don't believe you go to heaven or hell as soon as you die.>

JW believe only 144,000 people go to heaven. All the rest are resurrected. Talk about overpopulation!
You are right Jehovah's Witnesses believe in respawn on earth without heaven and hell
Nope. 144,000 go to heaven. The rest are resurrected here.
briham86
Just reframe it as showing dominance over Death by being buried in the T-pose.
Actually in that thread there was the mention that in the event of flooding vertical corpses will be more likely to come out.
Plus, that disconcerting wet thump of the body hitting the footwell of the casket as you hoist it up to lawn-dart it into the hole.
YARGImapirate
fill casket with biodegradable spray foam prior to vertical.
MosquitoLobido
This is a beautifully painted picture, and I love it
Thank you.
And more chances for unfortunate latch malfunctions.
Well we adapt the coffin to just have a tiny head hole door instead of a whole lenghtwise door.
Hmm maybe put the body on rollers so if people want an “open” casket for viewing you can just slide the head out the end?
MessageMeYourCats
I look forward to jamming someone's remains into their casket like I'm the creepy uncle at a family reunion

At most a simple wood coffins are used and bodies are expected to decompose in 3 to 7 years thus leaving space available later. (2/2)

A friend of mine is a funeral director, and apparently the reason we embalm is public health. Could be diseases in the body.

are buried in France, not sure if this is true for all cemeteries though. He also said that they were buried all facing towards Germany 2/3

Donation to science is usually tough to get into. If you go to a non SCI funeral home for cremation it’s normally more affordable.

Jacob12jr
Also the body won’t stand upright on its own while it’s being buried. It would crumple due to gravity without some kind of rigging or harnes
Jacob12jr
Too complicated
Dankking
We should just cremate everyone
GnarlElTrim
Perhaps we could put them in a rigid box of some kind that could prevent this.
cavedoge
In that case, why don't we have bunk bed graves?!
UserSaysAsUserDoes
We tend to bury 2-3 people in a plot though, so it’s probably the same density of bodies. Tesselation of people is basically piling sticks!
UserSaysAsUserDoes
Now if you were to get everyone into a foetal position you’d halve the length of a plot and still stack 3 in there, higher density
UserSaysAsUserDoes
But why stop there, 2 people can wrap around each other in slightly more space than 1 foetal position, so now there’s 6 in that plot
UserSaysAsUserDoes
To be even more efficient we could remove all the water, which takes up 70% or a persons space, BAM 20 i n the space of 3
UserSaysAsUserDoes
But why do they need to be in one shape, cut them up and stack them better could probably get another two in there!

6 feet is the depth to keep the smell of death from surfacing isn't it? Graves would need to be dug about 8 feet deeper on average.

I'd rather be buried under a tree. Could have a graveyard that turns into a park or a grove. A more morbidly beautiful/poetic way I think
SupercalifragilisticexpialidociousShenanigans
Most graveyards are parks, at least around here. Particularly if the headstones are kept small. Grass trees lakes... Just no swingsets
SupercalifragilisticexpialidociousShenanigans
Then again, the old folks burried there probably prefer kids keep off thier lawn.

They aren't really parks so much as a sacred site. I mean parks as people will come make a day out of going to instead of just visits

Our dead deserve honor, I'd rather be honored by people that will use my tree than by being remembered by a carving of my name

I honestly thought it was due to the bodies being dug up by animals after death, and that 6 feet down would stop most common scavengers.

You'd still end up needing a deeper hole. Specified minimal burial depth helps prevent stuff like corpses being disinterred by flooding
