Just have it drill downward, put some more dirt on the coffins, add another layer of coffins, and repeat!

I think it’s a shame that when we figured out skyscrapers we didn’t start doing that with the dead. Catacombs in the sky reaching to the heavens.

I’m gonna go pay my respects to grandma she’s in the towns bonescraper. Smash cut to a giant tower made of skeletons.

Aliens come down to that kind of society, they’d want to party with us because that’s metal as fuck

We tried that before and we ended up with ghost Pokémon. Is that what you want?

But then you delve too deep and it's balrogs, innit?

Only if the delving is also greedy

Not wanting to expand the cemetery or build more cemeteries is likely an economic incentive so it could be argued by the balrogs that it was greed.

You win this round, Balrog. You win.

That's called a mass grave

What are you up to?

What are you up to?

Their knees in bodies. OP needs to start their plan before they drown.

What do you do with the displaced dirt?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Mass grave. But if you mean something like that underground bike storage in the Netherlands, than if could be done and would need expanding every so often or have the tombstones moved somewhere else

I think cremation or donation to science should be mandatory. you can still visit a grave, just a smaller urn. or set them free in their favorite spot, turned into a tree, diamond, etc. a 3x6 foot plot of land that is now useless is stupid in my opinion. at least going to science they can learn more and train new talent.

When I die, I want my body donated to a university astrophysics lab. I'm either going to space or getting blown up trying!
