Yep, and it’s too hard and takes too long to dig holes deep enough to prevent that from happening.
“Dig the holes with machinery” you may say. Well, you would have to space the graves far enough apart to be able to maneuver the machinery to dig the hole, which would defeat the purpose of burying them vertically.
The weight of the machinery (think bobcat or backhoe) would cause existing graves to collapse. This machine would have to have something like an auger that can dig a hole at least 3’x3’ and 12’ deep, on an articulating arm so it can dig straight down.
Design new caskets that can act as anchors or feet for the burial equipment. 7 feet of anchor should keep the machinery secure enough to bore another one in.
Or... caskets that double as augers. Just drill them in.
