Anyway, some friend took a pic of myself and the czech representative.
I hadn't realized she was that tall ^_^
She doesn't look that tall; maybe even only average height. Was the photo taken with a postage stamp or something?
I agree with all of the above but regardless of my feelings, they provide a lot of comfort to a lot of people. Lots of rituals are built around them and I think it is important to allow people to continue with their rituals and traditions if they aren't hurting anyone. I think the 'running out of space' aspect is overblown for the majority of communities and I believe there is a pretty steady conversion of cemetery -> not cemetery across relatively short amounts of time.Waste of space, environmentally wasteful, and it involves the fetishizing of corpses. And the linearity of time dictates that you either have to keep expanding them or you start double-loading graves, or even outright replacing old ones. People buy uber-expensive boxes, some built to withstand the test of time, and they stuff their loved ones like they're taxidermy, all in the name of a supposed eternal resting ground, completely unawares that their stuffed loved one will be replaced within the century by a new stuffed loved one. It's an outright industry disguised as a loving memorial.

I live on the edge of thousands of square miles of desert where even a shallow unmarked grave is very unlikely to ever be disturbed...or so I've heard.
