I’m concerned about efficient land use in traditional burials. Where I live you will often see cemeteries in the middle of the town with graves that are so old that no living relatives will ever visit – anybody who knew the deceased has long passed as well.
We don’t need to preserve bodies, we need to dispose of them and let the living use the land instead. E.g. build proper parks with amenities for the living instead of hotels for the dead.
I notice it’s never compared to a traditional burial which is better for the environment.

Concrete? Wood and a tiny bit of metal is fine in the earth.

If people buy land it isn’t much different to anyone holding land for generations.
