Hell's High-Rises

High-rise columbaria are being considered as a solution to the demand for cremation urn space.

Given the local misnomer for the afterlife, I foresee the unofficial name Hell's High-Rises.

Imagine these conversational snippets:

· "I'll be there soon, but first I have to stop by Hell."

· "I've visited Hell ... it's quite nice."

· "Excuse me, but can you give the directions to Hell?"

· "Hell is prestigious; all our deceased relatives are there."

Choosing an official name will be tricky; it mustn't clash with current Houses of Heavenly Glory. How about:

· Afterlife Estates

· Golden Urn Gardens

· Cremation Court

· Ching Ming Mansions

In the right location, several could be built: a veritable city of the dead.

The most obvious question is: will people have to pay more for a niche on higher floors, as they do with flats?
