I’m no expert on Islam but the people who started their own graveyard had an issue with bodies being exhumed eventually.
But why wouldnt a graveyard last “forever”?
Populations have exploded in the last 100-150 years, especially in densely populated cities. You can’t bury tens of millions of people and keep them in the ground for long.
Cremations were quite normal in many parts around the world, actuslly. In Europe, Christian influences caused a ban on them, but for ages cremations were the way to go. They make more sense anyway: people who cremate their dead are less likely to catch diseases from rotting corpses than people who handle put the (diseased) body back in the ground.

and hell even a hundred years ago graveyards in cities started becoming problematically full, that’s literally why cremations was invented.

Just bury them together with nuclear waste. Two birds sealed under one stone and the radiation might give them superpowers in the afterlife
