Why don't cemeteries get full?

Question

Ok i was wondering, how come cemeteries never get full????

i mean hasn't anyone noticed?? I live next to a cemetery that has been around since the 1850s, and they still have room for dead people. i don't get it can someone please explain to me why they don't get full?

Answer 1

Cemetaries in our area do get full.  

Answer 2

I heard about a story where they just kept selling the same coffins and plots over and over, and were just cremating the bodies, anyway.

Some places sell "standing up" plots too, where the departed are buried standing up.

Personaly, I want my bones made into windchimes.
