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

7 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

Most graveyards are parks, at least around here. Particularly if the headstones are kept small. Grass trees lakes... Just no swingsets

7 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

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

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 ...

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.

Tbf logistically it's harder probably as imagine digging the hole for it being vertical. Would be better to bury 3 on top of each other

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

7 years ago | Likes 20 Dislikes 0

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.

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.
