It leads to the issue relating to all burials, namely the allocation of land that cannot be used for any beneficial purpose thereafter. Even users of 'natural' burial sites would expect them to remain undisturbed. If all bodies were to be disposed of by burial, in many places it would cause an acute and resented land shortage. I would say that it is only the popularity of cremation that prevents it being made compulsory. The good news is that the issue looks to have been resolved: http://www.resomation.com/ ...

Her parents. And her father's parents. As well as my father's mother. But we buried both Mum's and Nan's caskets. Mum in an 'eco-friendly' burial ground (basically a large meadow consecrated by a bishop). Nan in a churchyard in the village she was born in. As many of her ancestors were interred there. My other relatives' ashes were scattered. My mother's other grandmother and grandfather were both 'traditionally' buried. I'm not sure about my Dad's father. My father, sister and I have opted for cremation, as Mum's casket was interred in a 'family plot'. What a lovely topic for such a bright and cheery day. ...

Both my grandmothers were Catholics, Cactus. And they were cremated. In the case of my late Mum's mother, I suspect it's because her husband was a few years earlier. Therefore, she couldn't be buried with him. In the case of my Dad's mother, that was my uncle's [his younger brother's] decision. The casket was buried, though. ...

Takes up less room. Or dig deep enough and bury the caskets on top of one another. ...
