I'll not posit an opinion in this case, but realistically - regardless of religion, race, etc, a dead person maintaining a PERMANENT piece of ground for all eternity is a bit much to ask for.
Consider this: there are currently 7 billion people alive right now. In a certain amount of time - say, 125 years, every single one of us will be dead. I know that not all faiths and customs require burial, but I'm going to assume that everyone would at least have the opportunity if they wanted. Lets assume every one of us needed a 4ft x 10ft area to be buried in. 40 sqft, multiplied by 7 billion. 280 billion sqft. 10,043 square miles. That's about the size of the state of Hawaii - just to store bodies - and that's just the NEW ones that would need to be stored in the next century or so. We've been storing bodies for centuries past now so not only is that land already "taken up", but presumably this is a problem that will continue long past the hypothetical 125 span I referenced earlier.
How much land would we be giving the dead in 500 more years? 1000? 10,000? Eventually it gets a bit ridiculous. There has to be some limit to which we either stack the graves, have some sort of "expiration time" on a plot - ie, long after anyone that would have known them when they were alive are dead themselves, or encourage cremation in a major way (which I think is the most sensible solution in the long run anyways - just do away with the antiquated notion of burying the dead).
England would likely run into this sort of problem faster than us anyways (they're an island not much bigger than Florida - less open land to spread out), but realistically it's something that the world needs to come to terms with eventually. People can't expect to live 80-90 years on this earth and then take claim a piece of real estate for eternity.
