Apropos limited and dwindling cemeterial real estate-- stacking caskets say, 10 deep in a single grave saves space and deters would-be graverobbers, at least from coffins level [-2] - [-10].
All funerals held on a particular day at a particular graveyard could share a single tomb. The individual
sarcophagi need only be separated by a few inches to a foot or so of earth apiece; John Doe might be 6 feet under, while Mary Smith is 60. May they jointly rest in multi-level peace!
