More Dead Centre
And further to Dead Centre, I found out about Colma through a story in Yahoo News. A pet cemetery (resting place to over 1,000 animals) is being "emptied" to make way for human graves. The pets were buried on leased land at Pet's Rest, and the owner, a local real estate firm, now wants to reclaim some of the land for use with human clients. There was no indication in the report if they were planning to offer "relocation or cremation" to any of the other 12,000 animals buried on site.

In Singapore, due to land shortage, I believe they allow bodies to be buried for up to 90 years. After that, bodies are exhumed, cremated and placed in jars. To save the costs and hassle of burying bodies twice, we generally choose to cremate our relatives and loved ones. Like they say, ashes to ashes, dust to dust. No worries about accidentally burying someone alive here.
