Isn't it really disrespectful and unrealistic for the devs to add..

[poke_ravi]

the option to empty the cemetery so that the remains can be cremated? This is almost never done and also is very disrespectful to those of the Abrahamic faiths. It's not the same as emptying a landfill by burning trash. I really would've hoped that the devs put some more thought into issues like these.

I'm pretty sure this game is made in America, where they have freedom of expression, so they don't have to cater to every single religion or do anything to avoid offending you.

OP, while I can understand your concern, I think the responses that "your faith is not the only one, and your cultural practices are not either." is the correct response. In Japan for example, many cemetaries rotate the stock, and only rent the plot for ayear. Then they bag them bones and move in a new...errr.. person.

Meanwhile, I am rather offended that I cannot put my citizens in boats and cremate them at sea, like good Vikings. Maybe someone wil lmake me a mod for that....

OP is trolling. I can't belive there are 7 pages of ppl actually debating this.

in real life cemtaries are reused about ones every 20-50 years, so I see no problem in this because unlike the crematoriums cemetaries ingame doesn't support this reusing like in the real world is used, and desicinon is at you if you emulate this behaior or not.

But this is one of the fun trolls.... because there is a 50/50 chance he isn't trolling. :]

It's not disrepectful, because the 1:s and 0:s buried in those cemeteries have no faith, and cannot be disrespected.

You'll notice there are no religions in the game. There's a reason for that. Most of the time, I wish there were no religions IRL either.

Oh look, neogaf / kotaku are here! f*ck off OP.

Actually in real life they do "empty" cemetries. They find bones in our local one from where it has been plowed to create space for new graves. They do it once every couple hundred years in most of the church graveyards in the UK and have been doing it for centuries

[Mansen]

No - It is not disrepectful or un-realistic at all. Cemeteries are emptied in real life too...

The mayor's decision to build #incinerator is offending my #religion #shutitdown

But the option is still there which means that the devs don't have any qualms about offending religious people. I'm just thankful that they don't allow you to adjust the number of abortions at the hospitals or have a gay marriage policy in the name of population control (yet).

I'm so glad I chose to be an atheist, was born gay and I can't wait until there is a gay marriage option in the game! In honor of your religion and you, I will name all my surrogate born children either, Mohammed, Abraham or Pokeravi! Actually, I will save the name Mohammed for our dog.

Seems the original poster knows nothing of City Graveyards. They get moved, emptied etc all the time. Furthermore, a normal grave has 10-15 years of turnover before it is deleted unless you pay extra.

Take some time to study actual grave management.

This is nothing disrespectful to Religion. All (Christian) Graveyards can be sanctified and de-sanctified depending on needs.

The REAL reason for this, is probably to prevent you from just deleting cemeteries and landfills at will to place new ones. "Sticking you" with your old baggage to haunt you all game.

Thus, this option to empty them allows you to still delete the building and place a new one somewhere else - but you have to slowly empty it over time you can't just "Delete" and add a new one. The other option is removing this "feature" and let us delete landfills/cemeteries at will.
