I don't think that includes the long-since-decimated remains of human beings.
They're not people. Sure, respect the dead, but those are empty vessels, not people. Some may have different religious viewpoints on such things that tie their eternal "soul" (or what have you) to the physical remains... but as far as I'm concerned, it's a husk.
I think we should relocate some cemeteries' contents to areas where the land won't be missed nearly as much, and put a real premium on future lot allocations. The fact of the matter is, we cannot bury everyone, indefinitely. We're going to literally start running out of room soon if we don't start thinking of ways to handle the situation.
As for me, cremation all the way.
