No, it's not the only solution. Go multistorey; many countries do.

In much of South America they build big Mausoleum structures with small chambers spacious enough for single or double caskets.These Mausoleums are nicely built with nice lighting,manicured landscape and well maitained.A room size space is able to be used as the resting place for at least 30 deceased people instead of 2 or 3 as we do today.We will have to start thinking outside the box before we turn all our lands into cemetery.These are the things we can easily do for ourselves instead of waiting for foreign aid!!!!!

Santrofi, Know that before Gold Coast, Togo or Ghana came into being, Voltarians had been and are still living in/on that land. They were there before the European stealers created those artificial boarders resulting in the Ghana which you think belongs to you.
Known that the more you politicise every issue the more you loose one potential & valuable vote at a time for you party which no sensible person will do.
And the more you tribalize sensitive issues the the more primitive you are seen to be in this age of globalization and technology.
Think about it. Where will you have been had there been no Gold Coast nor Ghana?

Togo is closer to Ghana than Mali that your forefathers originated from. Stupid Adu boahene deceived you that you came from holes and you believe that stooges. I blame the great priest Okomfor from nortsie.

A good barometer of a country's progress is how needlessly it's citizens are dying. These days, there are funerals everywhere so I'm not surprised the cemeteries are full. Instead of equipping the existing hospitals, this man has gone on an infrastructure spree, leaving patients to die all over the country. Ghanaians are dying oo Ghanaians are dying!

EVERYWHERE IN GHANA WE ARE NOT MAKING PROVISION FOR CEMETRIES EVEN THOUGH DEATH IS A CERTAINTY. IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN IN ALMOST EVERY TOWN IN GHANA. ONLY THE VILLAGES HAVE SPACE. IN THE TOWNS AND CITIES ALL GRAVEYARD LANDS HAVE BEEN SOLD FOR COMMERCIAL OR PRIVATE RESIDENTIAL USE. HOW STUPID CAN WE BE? IN EUROPE ALMOST EVERY COMMUNITY IN A CITY HAS A CEMETRY. WHAT A BUNCH OF WANKERS WE ARE.

YES, WE NEED TO RE-PLAN OUR BURIAL SYSTEM. ELSEWHERE, ONE GRAVE TAKES UP TO 4 BODIES: TRAMPS AND PAUPERS TAKE THE BUTTOM PIT, STILL-BORN KIDS THE SECOND AND THE LAST TWO SPACES SAVED FOR THOSE WHO CAN AFFORD TO PAY PREMIUM FEES, E.G. HUSBAND & WIFE WITH THOMB-STONE AND THEIR INSCRIPTION.
THE OTHER ALTERNATIVE IS TO EXHUME BODIES AFTER 25 YEARS AFTER THE LAST BURIAL.
OSU CEMETARY PRACTISES THE LAST OPTION BUT EXHUME SOME GRAVES AFTER 15 YEARS OR SO.

This problem is most acute in cities and towns that do not practise grave recycling.Older residents of over 30 years can have their resting place recycled, withe most recent residents moved further into the ground. Grave recycling is the answer, come on Ho city council members put on your thinking caps, you were appointed to take the hard decisions. There will be the initial opposition to the recycling - Grave-reuse is not a cultural norm,and you will face resistance and accusations that religious and cultural traditions are being violated. But believe me,this system will work efficiently for all cities all over the world.Start reusing graver older than 30 years and the problem will be solved.

Very soon people's houses will be demolished to make way for burial...or when u die u will be buried in ur bedroom. Can't we copy from the best? Can't we cremate or avoid concrete structures so after several years we can bury other people in same places. Have we stopped thinking? It just starts with education since we have gone this way for a long time.. Change we must my beloved hometown.
