In a similar vein I'm working on an idea to monetize cemetery plots and crypts in and around San Francisco. They're quiet workplaces with scenic views (lots of flowers and greenery), often centrally located and many are close to coffee shops. With a little cabling/wiring and some temporary structures they would make ideal workplaces.


You might be half kidding. But one thing I loved in the UK was that people went to cemetery to jog. That is a great multifunctional use of a plot of land.

I live pretty close to a cemetery, however due to cultural customs, I would never think of going there to jog. Unfortunately, there is no other place nearby my house were I could go jogging.


> they would make ideal workplaces

I'm not sure ideal is the right word, but I get your drift.


I think you are missing the whole point of cemeteries and crypts: to honor the dead. They are not parks. They are not nature preserves. They are not just quiet places with scenic views. They are memorials to those who have gone before.

Turning a place of honor into an office space kinda defeats the whole point and is super disrespectful.


I'm pretty sure the comment you're replying to was sarcastic.
