Over the years that I have played golf I could never understand why no one ever combined a golf course and cemetery. It would appease the critics of the game that claim it is a poor use of space and water and have concerns about pesticides & insecticides.
My concept is to have no above ground head stones or markers and certainly no mausoleums. All small flat markers. As a option,Cremated Remains go into bunkers instead of the traditional sand. Fairways could remain marker free and just have them off the side of the fairway or at select tees from 1st to the 18th. Most courses close for one day of the week for repairs and maintainence and that is the day you schedule burials or scatters.
Soft organ music could be piped through out the course to soothe the jangled nerves of the golfer. It's no mystery that many golf courses are struggling financially and the additional revenue from burials would help lower the cost of golf and burials. WHERE ARE YOU DONALD TRUMP? I personally scattered my wife of 33 years ashes all across her favorite # 16 Par 5 tee area after she died in 1989.
