New Sky Burial

Ok, I have no actual pictures, no actual links, no actual evidence... nothing.  But, what I have is an idea, and idea which came to light during some group work in class the other day.  Here it is...

We have rooftop gardens, why not rooftop cemeteries.  Yeah?  I knew you'd like it...

We have discussed before about how densely populated areas, and especially those which have been around for centuries - take London for example - are running out of room for their burials.  Proper Christian interments are now a few people deep, or even in the ground standing on end.  Put six feet of dirt on a relatively flat roof and voila!  Space saver!

Buried on top of Rockefeller Center?  What a legacy.

Yep, looks like a burial to me.
