Explicitly dedicated 'currently'. You would be amazed at how many graveyards have been dug up and rezoned especially over the last couple hundred years with the burst of population and growth. Suddenly that out of the way shady grove filled with headstones is smack bang in the middle of a growing city and occupying space vitally required, just to home bones no one has visited in generations.

Yeah there's a small historic cemetery in my home state of Ohio that sits right next to the entry of a major theme park.

Hell, in the same home state there's a lot of rural homes with family graveyards on property. One even right next to the road.

Happens all the time.

One of my professors used a method called GPR to locate old coffins in the ground. He should us the results in class and it was super interesting. One of my coworkers actually just did a similar project.

This is also why I want to donate my body to a body farm. My coffin won’t be in the way somewhere people want to develop on, or my urn gets stored away in a random attic. Just let nature do it’s thing, and have some students study my decomposition.
