Dead may be buried standing up.
(From Philippine Daily Inquirer)
Byline: Tarra Quismundo
THE COUNTRY'S biggest cemetery has just run out of space and one Manila official is set to file a bill that will require the dead to be buried standing up.
Manila North Cemetery Chief Administrator Florante Baltazar said that while the idea may sound funny, the practice of vertical burials has a practical side to it.
"If this will be the system, three coffins can occupy the space of one coffin that is interred laterally," Baltazar said yesterday.
Baltazar said that the cemetery has ran out of lots for the departed ones, and cited in jest that the only free space in the 54-hectare cemetery are the streets.
"The first burial here happened in May 1904," Baltazar said. "Imagine how many of the dead are buried here."
