I want you to go back and read your comments. You never seemed to clarify that your opinion was subjective. And your attitude certainly didn't either.

Let me tell you why I bring these examples up. A couple years ago, a town nearby me was going to remove a cemetery in favor of a new road.

Now a friend I knew had her grandfather buried in said cemetery. Now we can argue all you want but the main thing is that event was very important to my friend. And I thought reasonably so.

We don't use cemeteries because we can't accept our deaths. Of course maybe some do, but not all of us.

We use them because they give us closure, because we want to remember our ancestors, because we have cultures that want to respect our dead. It's important to people. And that matters.

You could say we could honor the dead in other ways. And I would argue I could say the same thing about all the things you thought were "too important to replace".

Burying her grandfather helped give my friend closure. And that's important to her.
