> Perhaps they're special cases

They are special cases. Very, very special. There is a 150 year old family cemetery a stones throw from my house. No one cares. A quarter mile from my last house there was another one. I drove past several on my way to work. NO ONE CARES. The number of old cemeteries that are of any interest is so minuscule compared to the number of cemeteries.

Cemeteries are a growth of the Christian idea that you're going to be resurrected one day and peoples general fear of dying and as long as someone knows where they are they're not really dead. They are a colossal waste of space.
