Where are all the dead people? Shouldn't there be billions?

I don't understand. Are you asking why there aren't billions of ghosts? Or do you for some reason think graves are all empty?

I dig up their bodies, and I pawn their jewelry then I clean the skeletons and sell them to collectors
This has been a common business for thousands of years to help people learn anatomy. They need people like me.

The earth's land surface is 148,940,000 Square Kilometers = 148,940,000,000,000 Square Meters.
There are approximately 109 billion people who have died throughout human history. Let's round those numbers to 150 trillion sq m and 100 billion dead people, and we'll say it takes 2 sq m of land to bury a person. That means that about 200,000,000,000 sq m of land are graves. 200 billion is ~0.13% of 150 trillion.
If graves were evenly distributed, a small town- let's say 50 sq km or 50,000,000 sq m- would need a graveyard about 65,000 sq m, a square of roughly 255 meters on a side. That doesn't seem too unreasonable.
But of course, graves aren't evenly distributed- just like human populations, they're concentrated in certain areas and absent from others. On the other hand, not everyone is buried- lots of people have been cremated, or lost at sea, or eaten by scavengers. And even when people are buried, graves don't necessarily last forever- depending on climate, moisture, soil conditions, etc, bodies, including bones, can break down and decay, while tombstones can erode away or be stolen and re-used in construction. Eventually the site of a burial can become indistinguishable from any other patch of ground. And if that doesn't happen fast enough, it's pretty common for large cities to clear room in graveyards by digging up old bones and storing them somewhere else- that's what the famous Paris Catacombs are for, for instance.

Up until recently. People were buried without embalming, in metal caskets, in concrete grave liners. People and their wooden coffins decomposed over time and over the centuries graveyards were forgotten or built over. This isn't even taking into account cremation or other types of burials such as Norse funerals and cremation, scattering of ashes, donating bodies to science.

Gay ass meme idea that sentimental fags would pay a lot of money for.
>pay these assholes to plant a literally worthless sapling over your shallow grave
>buried in fetal position btw, age-old signifier of having died in terror or agony
>gay ass tree dies after 2 winters because Mexican manual laborers didn't water it properly or because 50% of trees just do that randomly anyway
>decomposing in the cuck pod

So you complain about sentimental people and go on to give 4 sentiments not to do it
You even attached an image of a guy who looks professional to give it more credibility
Did you imagine yourself as him when writing this? Or was it a pick you made after

Most. Preserving the body used to be for royalty, and the luxury has seeped down into a cultural necessity.

The Vatican has massive Crypts that have tons of dead Royals throughout the last 2000 years. The thing is sometimes they open it up in the bodies are gone.
Sometimes they find bodies that are much newer than the supposed dead person or even opposite sex
What kind of weird shit is the Vatican doing with dead bodies of royalty?

Bodies decompose. Souls either reincarnated or stayed with God.
