Vertical Cemetaries

From Editor at HAIF

This is a picture near Tsing Yi in (New Territories, Hong Kong S.A.R.) which shows how they bury people in very high-density areas. Flat land is for the living. Dead people get the hill. You can see how steep the cliff is from the stairway on the left side. I saw dozens of these things on the cliffs.

Don't laugh. They've been burying people standing up in Britain and Europe for years, and now I hear the practice is spreading to Australia, the Phillipines and other parts of the far east. There's only so much land, and it's getting more expensive all the time. It won't be long before vertical burials will come to this country. At least three people can be buried vertically in the space it takes to bury someone horizontally. You do the math.
