Visiting NYC recently I passed by those massive cemeteries in the way from JFK to Manhattan.

I started reflecting on cemeteries and our practice of burying our dead on land we could be using to house or feed people

I'm all for remembering people by creating something useful like a tree or a bench, or maybe a donation marked by a plaque instead of several thousands of dollars for a plot and granite marker.
