A burial plot, and we'll see.

Seems to me you bought it for death, actually

[-] Jelly_mcPB@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

I bought one to last the rest of my life and the rest of my death. It's a 2 for.

Burial plots don't last forever. You may only get to use it for something as short as 40 years before they shift you out for a new occupant, depending on demand and upkeep and whatever was agreed on beforehand.

Wait what, what do they do with the bodies?

They get placed in an https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ossuary or respectfully disposed of somehow...
