The concept is that you get a spot on a graveyard permanently as a muslim, but it is custom to give back the spot when noone is alive, who remembered the deceased relative, so usually in the third or fourth generation.
But why wouldnt a graveyard last “forever”? We have many church graveyards that can be tracked back to early medieval times, so easily a thousand years, in Germany.
But muslims don’t embalm their deceased bodies, right? They also don’t use coffins, so eventually the remains will decompose with nothing remains? How long it took for unpreserved buried bodies to completely decompose?
How long it took for unpreserved buried bodies to completely decompose?
That is very dependent on the temperature, soil, humidity etc. E.g. a regularly wet, huminose soil at moderate temperatures will decompose anything much quicker than dry desert sand.

Just bury them together with nuclear waste. Two birds sealed under one stone and the radiation might give them superpowers in the afterlife
and hell even a hundred years ago graveyards in cities started becoming problematically full, that’s literally why cremations was invented.

He’s still alive, he’s 75 but he’s still going strong.
