Dead people

[xoggoth]

Item on the SE news recently about dead people, there's a big shortage of cemetary space in London.

Clearly dead people are almost as much of a nuisance as old people. Any suggestions what we should do with them?

I remember seeing a documentary years ago about a London firm who cleared old graveyards to make way for development. Seems they'll not be getting much business any more.

On a surreal note they were explaining how even coffins over a hundred years old still contained ichor that had to be carefully handled. So they opened a coffin and found a perfectly preserved body of a young woman dead for about 150 years, looked like she was sleeping

Last weekend I was watching an episode of that Rory McGrath programme (I forget the name) about London's grave robbers who'd dig up corpses sometimes only hours after they'd been buried to sell to budding young doctors to practice on. Just legalise that again, and problem solved. Graves can be reused several times over.

Though one problem was that the grave robbers soon progressed onto creating their own supply and murdering people.

I see a Plan B here.

What can you do with dead people?

Lampshades
Ashtrays
Human Hair pillows
Candles?

Oh the list must be endless. I wonder if anyone has thought of this before?

The problem isn't with dead people per se... it's with dead people that won't do the decent thing and insist on being a pain in the ass and insist on being buried taking up valuable space. How rude!!

What did they do with her?

BTW, top marks for "ichor". Not a word you hear much these days.

Step 1) Voodoo

Step 2) Start your own agency. Create your own zombie army and then use them to apply for graduate positions, as noone will notice the difference

Step 3) Profit

What's the problem? Cemetery space is just like living space: if demand is high, the price will rise. Of course this may make it difficult for first-time diers.

Reburied in another cemetary after taking some pics.
