The number of population in this world are increasing with advance in medical technology bringing the death rate down and new lives are brought into this world everyday. While the Population can be controled by limiting the number of births, there is a nother issue that we face. Its the limited area of land that our world have. Dead will fight with the living for burial grounds. It doesnt go away after they die because we still use up land for the dead. Imagine after a century pass, and billions of people who died, used up lands for graveyard. The best way would be to cremate the body and scatter the ashes into the sea and land. This will free up space used for graveyard but it comes to the question of believe and culture. Some people want to have a tombstone for their coming generations to pay respect to like how we pay respect to our ancestors. DO you guys think this will be a problem in the future?

Yes but there will come a time where there is no more cheap lands because the number of dead people increase and accumuluate if we continue burying the dead. We should start awareness for people to cremate after they die for future development

Alot of times especially modern life situation where religious believes and the situation clashes with each other. Myself, before this I thought it will be good to be buried together with my families and ancestors. But after looking at the wide space and hills used for cemetery, this question came to my mind. Its not a problem now, but what about the future? The space doesnt get renewed. The dead will stay there and new cemetery will come up for 'newly dead'. My great gandfather still has his cemetery there after 100+ yrs.

Now, my mindset changed that after I die, it would be better to scatter my ashes into the sea.

Yup. Abandoned cemeteries maybe is because the decendents (dunno how to spell) dont even know who their ancestors are and lost touch. The cemeteries become no meaning and just hogging the land. For me, I only know until my granfather.

In the end will be a big dump site for dead bodies

Then mausoleum is the best solution? But isnt it the same as cemetery since u need to bury the body in the earth and not put on second floor or 3rd floor..

hehe... its now aparment or condominium for the living now but future got condominium for the dead?

how can prison increase

As if the number of criminals will increase... They occupy the space for a few yrs then will get released and their cells occupy by others..
