    I agree with this in principle, but cemeteries are for the living. It would be good if our post-death rituals could use up less land of course; I fully support social changes in that direction. For now though, a lot of people find comfort in visiting their ancestral remains.

      Cemeteries are also extremely useful to archaeologists. We wouldn’t know anywhere near as much about the past without them.
