Because of the nature of the container (i.e. threaded body) it can be placed vertically in the ground or into the slope of a hill (which resolves your issue with people walking on graves).

I think this is a very unique, out of this world EXCELLENT idea. If it helps to conserve plot space and ground breaking in cemetarys, I am all up for it. Also, if it helps reduce people walking over graves where people are buried, even better. NOTHING more disrespectful than someone walking over top of a grave. Dead or not, it shouldnt be done.

(Apparently, people who've struggled to live in the city feel that they're entitled to "live" there forever...) The article mentions the slightly startling fact that "London allows people to be buried upright," so Don's "screwy" invention seems quite timely. However, we can't ignore the fact that the world will also run out of space for vertically buried people, since there is an infinite supply of us. Personally, I'm fine with the human version of composting; the problem is that I doubt my survivors will feel the same way...
