Don’t do a mausoleum. As a cemetery superintendent, I can assure you, they will be a problem. The will eventuallyEventually need significant maintenance. The cemetery either will run out of funds at some point, or find it too expensive to repair these massive crumbling facilities. At least with a simple burial, the worst that can happen are the grounds aren’t kept, or the headstone deteriorates.
Indeed,the famous Johnston Mausoleum in Calvary Cemetery,Queens,NY is a case in point. It's Enormous! Built by the wealthy Johnston Brothers of New York in the mid Eighteen hundreds for their rest in the afterlife with no expense spared and towering over the Cemetery, a problem ensued when the only surviving third and youngest Brother squandered the family fortune and there was no money left to maintain this Colossus. It's worth looking up,a magnificent Mausoleum.
@@IRISHguitarist777I tried to find a video of it.. but nothing is showing up.. do you have any link?
Appreciate the honesty, agree. Do what they do in my area, report it to a higher Superior/department. It's like pissing in the wind, but gets the members thinking..
@@michaelwightman4358 You can report up all you want but unless there are funds to repair it, it’s not happening. Very very few cemeteries have those kind of funds. It usually requires some type of perpetual endowment set up at time of origination for what will be necessary.
It's supposed to be "eternal rest"
Not just until the cemetery is full.😢
DAD JOKE: Of course they are popular. People are dying to go there.
🤣🤣🤣
Graves should remain untouched. Period.
Eventually when graveyards are full, the money stops coming in and they're pretty much abandoned. Also, as generations pass, those future generations will not even know who you are or not know where you're buried. I know where my mother's parents and my father's father are buried. My niece and 2 nephews dont know who they are. They'll see pictures but thats it. When they're my age and Im gone, they most likely will not be visiting those graves. We are forgotten quickly. I'm being cremated and buried in one of the 2 remaining family plots with my father and grandfather. The end.
So what is your solution when we run out of space for graves?
@@ToxCcc cremation.
@@MLTPLMGZ2006You’re forgetting that the dead are dead, the living will always get to decide what happens
You westerners call our culture pagans and try to show us and our cultures backward but you, yourself being unscientific and run out of space to survive Dead people doesn’t need space or a land. they are nonliving creatures, you can cremate them So you could have enough space to survive and kids have a place to play😂😂
Urns with ashes should be allowed to be buried in private gardens, for coffin burials it can be more complicated, but, for urns is certainlty ok
Believe me you never actually get one persons ashes they are slightly mixed with previous cremations and us as gravediggers would fill our dumper truck with dust ashes and tip the bones that were too big for grinding and the false hips into a common paupers grave
Cremation,the devils furnace is where we end up now.
Lol. Sounds like hell
You could fit a lot more bodies in a cemetery if you buried them vertically
What's the difference? You still have to have a certain distance between the plots. Aren't they already buried vertically?
@@TheNumbaOneMiss I have a very minimal understanding of how cemeteries work
@@TheNumbaOneMissI think he means upwards to downwards & as far as plots? Make a rule making them smaller
@@blkszntv8531 oh, you mean having the body in a standing position?. That's genius.. yeah. Or they can just bury them 18 feet deep and stack em up in 3s the current way?
@@TheNumbaOneMiss That’s true but 6 ft is culture & religion… Ion think ppl will want their ppl buried that far
I am surprised we haven’t run out of space already.

The millstone grit areas are sometimes called the Black Peak because of the dark-coloured crags.
If you’re rich, you’ll have no problems. It’s always been about lebensraum. The poor will be bulldozed over. Same as it ever was.
It depends in the size stone/monument above your grave, simple flagstone/or planter, verses 6 foot tall lump stone, like small pyramid which one are you going move ? it not going to be the big lump of stone is it?
Unfortunately 😔
Just throw them all in one, less space.
All this is happening because of people making a kiling off death... Greed.
The dead don't need any accommodations. Living people are making the decision to continue with these kinds of burials. It's expensive and it only puts a financial burden on the loved ones left behind.
Who the hell is he to say it's not horrific
READ THE FINE PRINT & RAISE LONG-TERM CONCERNS..
First! And I actually watched the video twice :p.
Recycling graves does sound like a useful solution if one wants to continue doing burials, and also sounds horrific at the same time. Maybe we should revisit the practice of reserving scarce land for rotting corpses? In the future, only the wealthy will be able to afford burial plots apparently. This isn’t an issue in the USA where we have so much stolen land to work with over here.
May be it's need to allow burial in private gardens, at least for urns with ashes.
This is ok for animals, why not for humans?
"Appears to be acceptable to most people" okay sir sure.
Most of thr time the owners take off with the money and bankrupt the corporation.
1998?
I suggest leaving me be. Or else.....
This is comical. Normalizing graves for lease only 😂
Recycling Graves is not horrific. They do it in my country all the time.
Yeah, it is.
Just because they do it in your country doesn't mean it's not horrific.
It is horrific....
