In most states the funeral directors have lobbied the state legislatures to make funerals more expensive than needed. Laws that demand a concrete vault, then the casket and buried 6 feet under and only after an expensive embalming are common.
Only a few states let people be buried in a gunny sack, and have a tree planted on top. Even a cremation is thousands of dollars and has all sorts of restrictions.

Yes sir, one thing people don't think about is the fact that land , as there is less will become more valuable and at some point ( already happening in a few places and probably more) that they will start removing Graves from cemeteries rezoning them and build on them.
