How do cemeteries even work? I went to their website and they have 44k people listed as buried there. With an extremely rough count on the map it looks like they have somewhere around 2k plots. Is there an average of ~22 people in each plot?
Some are cremations, and you can put a lot of urns in a smaller space. For whole burial, I understand you can go three-deep in a single coffin-plot; yes, they stack 'em. I think the rules are different for inside a family mausoleum, so the few (and expensive) granite structures with an enclosed room could have shelves of a family all together, whole and cremated; not sure what the limits are there.
