Well, it's not that simple. Because those old cemeteries, even if they weren't embalming, they dedicated that space to that person. Americans are not Europeans. So if you're in Germany... When you have someone die, you put that person in the grave space, you rent it. You can rent it for 25 years or you can rent it for 99 years. But you rent it.

And after 25 years, if you don't pay, the body comes up, goes in an ossuary, and they resell it. Wait, so they just... In Germany, they're evicting their dead? Yeah. That's part of how they view the relationship of living and dead and their idea of what is dead.

Well, most European countries do it. It's only England that stood out. So England began to do permanent grave sites. And that is the policy that came to the U.S. And so in the U.S., almost all grave sites are permanent. You can't rent that I know of anywhere.

It's a really big issue. If you lived in Syracuse, New York, or Los Angeles for a long time, you can actually go to the cemeteries where your parents, your siblings, your grandparents, your great-grandparents are buried. You and I... I don't have anybody buried in Los Angeles.
