Think about it. Real Estate is the only thing they aren't making more of. Eventually, after MILLIONS and MILLIONS of people die, you would think they would run out of room to bury more people.

What will we do?

Millions and millions of people have already died, and it doesn't seem to be a big problem. Perhaps you mean BILLIONS and BILLIONS? Still too low. How about TENS of BILLIONS? Now we're in the ballpark.

By one estimate, about 100 billion people have lived and died in the last ~ 50,000 years. Still, somehow, a shortage of grave sites doesn't seem to be very high on our list of problems.

Sure, I guess one day it could be an issue, but as world problems go, it doesn't seem like a big one. Cremation is one obvious answer -- one of many.
