A Solution to the Looming Crisis of Oversupply of Dead Bodies

In: Australian quarterly: AQ, Band 75, Heft 6, S. 34-37

Abstract

Discusses the growing imbalance between where people are dying & where there is space to bury them, & suggests a surprising solution that Australian entrepreneurs could develop. The baby boomers phenomenon will place increasing pressure due to shortages of burial space in North America & Western Europe. Ample space for cemeteries could be provided in the Australian Outback. Arguments are made for the practicality of this idea from the transport of bodies to the creation of a funeral tourism industry & the provision of Internet observation of funerals & visits to the gravesite.
