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?
You want metal as fuck? Check out these dudes and dudettes

But then you delve too deep and it’s balrogs, innit?
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.
That’s called a mass grave
What are you up to?
That might make it difficult to visit the remains of a loved one, but I suppose you can just chuck your flowers in the pit and eventually they’ll work their way down.
I mean if you want to be maximally efficient about it just find it abandoned open pit mine in the middle of nowhere. You could dump all of the trash and corpses the human race has ever produced in it and barely even scratch the surface. Just one problem.
How the fuck are you going to pay for all the transportation expenses?
Oh yeah and dignity in death blah blah blah
I often wondered about that. Humans have been around for 100,000 years or so and we’ve been putting people in graves for a much smaller portion of that, but it seems we would have an awful lot of graves at this point. But we don’t. You don’t come across cemeteries very often and when you do they’re not enormous.
SO WHERE ARE ALL THE BODIES?
Did you think graves were perpetual?
I’m sorry to bake your noodle on this one, but when you get buried you’ll get 6 years tops before the site is recycled for the next person.
What?
My great grandfather’s grave is still around and he died in the ‘80s, in a cemetery in a highly populated part of my city. Right next to him is his son that was killed in Vietnam in the ‘60s.
Depends on region of course, but I think most graves are around for much longer than 6 years.
