Sure, but if the argument is that graveyards take to much valuable space that could be used to house living humans.

Perhaps people should keep ashes in their own gardens etc and you can alsways go and do the things you do.

To be transparent, this isn’t something I have given a lot of thought to until I saw this thread.

Suppose so, I feel like they’re pretty low on the list of land we could reclaim tho. Would rather go after golf courses first for example

Oh I agree that golf courses would be a priority. The same for office blocks where people can work from home.

I’m with mark twain on golf, it’s a good walk spoiled 😂

Something I think I've seen in movies (mostly ones implied to be ancient japan) is a family grave. A single pillar driven into the ground with the family name and then everyone is cremated or something. Notable individuals for the family get a pillar next to it, but this could be a solution as first world countries reach the point where space is a premium. This allows families to mourn recently, and not-so-recently deceased.

Cyberpunk has the Columbariums - huge columns of thousands of cremated individuals, with a digital display for your Epitaph and name

That sounds like a possible solution and pretty cool too tbh.
