All right.
This is a standing burial instead of the typical three by eight feet plot.
You can save a ton of space by burying the body upright.
In fact, if we compress all the 8 billion humans into pure volumetric space, we could fit everyone into a cube roughly 800m on each side.
But of course we're not accounting for all the land and the rituals that we traditionally dedicate to the dead.
So just considering the space you need for the casket, we would need a cube of about 46 times bigger And burial sites?
They're not cheap.
In urban areas, they can go up to six figures.
And if they're remote, they might be cheaper.
But there's the invisible cost of the time and the energy and the guilt of not visiting more.
