If a tunnel boring machine were installed facing downward in a cemetery, you wouldn't need to expand the cemetery - eviltoast

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

    Did you think graves were perpetual?

    I’m sorry to bake your noodle on this one, but when you get buried you’ll get 6 years tops before the site is recycled for the next person.

      What?

      My great grandfather’s grave is still around and he died in the ‘80s, in a cemetery in a highly populated part of my city. Right next to him is his son that was killed in Vietnam in the ‘60s.

      Depends on region of course, but I think most graves are around for much longer than 6 years.

        Where I live you usually pay the grave for 20 years at the time of the burial. If you still want to keep it after you have to pay to extend it.
