Graveyards are a disgusting waste of space. Their existence communicates to society that many dead people are more entitled to space on this Earth than some living people will ever have.
I'm going to push back because as society exists now there are a lot of cities I have been to where the graveyard is the most easily accessible green space. I don't know how weird it may be but sitting with the dead in the quite separated from the surroundings was one of my favorite things to experience. I'm not a religious/spiritual person and it was very helpful in connecting to the people who died before I met them.
