The entire population of the world wouldn’t even begin to fill up the Grand Canyon. So no worries.

And that's while still fleshy and bloated...once they turn to dust, they'd just make a pretty snow-like coating....

Rest easy. Lots of alternatives. Me - burial at sea. Feed the fishes.

Of all the things in the world to worry about, this guy picked something he can't do anything about.

My wife and I own our own family cemetery on our 30 acres here in rural Florida. Established in 1937 by my wife's grandparents.

We pay no property taxes on the 1/2 acre for it. I keep it mowed and trimmed.

I joke with my wife, that when I die, to let me know so I could mow the grass so it would look nice for the funeral.

In a more serious note: many countries who are running out of room for cemeteries are pushing cremation and either keeping ashes at home or putting them in a “memorial garden” or at sea. In either case, they claim, it’s more eco-friendly.

In 2015 cremations overtook burials in the United States and the gap widens each year. It's very expensive these days to be buried.
