I hate it when people start clapping at the end of things that are or should be the bare expected ending of whatever. Clapping should only be done when something has been accomplished beyond what can normally be expected. Clapping at the end of a theatre production that you enjoyed? Yes. Clapping at the end of movie in a movie theatre? No. Clapping because the pilot landed the plane like they're expected to do? No. Clapping because the pilot landed the plane after hours of severe turbulence, they've run out of gas and had to perform and emergency landing? Yes.

Nope, multiple people have attempted to convince me. First, it always makes the outside of cookie slimy. Second, I like milk and drinking milk with crumbs in it is gross. Third, milk doesn't make the flavour of a cookie any better.

No. It would make the pancakes soggy. I hate soggy bread. I barely tolerate putting syrup on pancakes.

So without a major change in what our society deems important this is not something that's ever going to be anything more than a passing fad.

You missed the main point entirely, but maybe I just wasn't clear enough. Not once did I say it isn't possible. I'm sure there are a few places that are doing this since there is money to be gotten in this specific market. However, the amount of money is significantly less than in your standard burial in a standard cemetery. They can put significantly more bodies in a regular cemetery than they can plant trees. Of course forests have trees closer than 10-20 feet apart. They also have trees 30, 40, or 50 feet apart. You have tree clusters or rings of trees that form. But then the next closest trees to them are much farther away. I'm sure they plan that accordingly when designing the park cemeteries. But, and this is a big but, land is limited. Here's a sizing guide for trees: https://www.arborday.org/trees/righttreeandplace/size.cfm On the other hand normal plots can be placed 6-12 inches apart.
