This just seems awfully morbid to do a press release on.

can't be "laid to rest" if you're standing upright, too creepy. Maybe they'll have a truck load of coffins with some sort of machinery that will just dump or shoot the coffins into their pre-dug slots in the ground. Hopefully no one will bury their loved ones in this new space saving cemetery, just doesn't seem right...

So much for 'Rest in Peace.'

I presume people will have the option to be buried head up or head down....

yes, I knew that...just giving my opinion on the subject. Just read the article again, no coffins, just body bags so my coffin-shooting machine is out, just a body-bag shooter. It all sounds gross to me was my point basically.

Uh-uh. If they start doing this up here, I'm going to insist on an above-ground crypt. How else are the cemetery staffers going to be able to kiss my ass?

Personally my orders are to be cremated and the ashes used in making garden gnomes to haunt my surviving relatives. ;O)

I presume people will have the option to be buried head up or head down.... You'd have to alternate them, to save space.
