In Biritiba Mirim, Brazil, the cemetery is full. Current laws prohibit the creation of a new one, because of the water table and rainforest where the town is located. "Of course the bill is laughable, unconstitutional, and will never be approved," said Gilson Soares de Campos, an aide to the mayor. "But can you think of a better marketing strategy?" There are 3,500 crypts and tombs in the town cemetery, and there are already 50,000 people buried in them. So far, 20 residents have to share crypts. There are several other towns in the same situation, but none of them have tried to outlaw death. Source:
