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.

Graveyards don't exist for the dead.

They exist for both relatives to mourn, and the wider populace who value the perspective on their own problems that graveyards provide. They're also normally a peaceful place in an often unpeaceful world, much as urban green spaces.
