We do ofc they’re just in the middle of nowhere isolated from people. The only time you see graveyards near a town center is when you go to the oldest parts of your city
Nah, I saw place with grave stones and nearby there’s the front of a house literally facing it right across the street, with just a one-way-street’s distance apart. Not even that “isolated” or “middle of nowhere”.
Generally, they will move the graveyard is there’s nearby construction. They need to get permission from the next of kin to do it though. There’s one semi-famous example in New Jersey where they could not find any next of kin for a single grave and ended up building around it. There’s also one graveyard that’s been cut right in half by a highway.
American’s value capitalism more then the Japanese respect their dead, so it’s not hard to convince Americans to truck their ancestors around.
Damn I wish we had stuff like this in the states. We’re so weird about death
US doesn’t have graveyards? Do you just burn your dead
they just pile up on the sidewalks. Which is why you can’t just walk everywhere. It’s all just completely covered in piles of corpses
