If a tunnel boring machine were installed facing downward in a cemetery, you wouldn't need to expand the cemetery (lemm.ee)

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

Ah, I see, your main issue is specifically with the burying? I assumed you had a problem with any kind of disposal that is not literally using the body for fuel/resources or just trashing it.

yeah, i understand why humans used to do it long ago. but, nowadays, it's just a huge waste of valuable space which could be put to far better use. used to live near a gigantic cemetery, and whenever i passed it, all i could think of is what a lovely park it would make, or some affordable housing, perhaps.
