San Francisco banned new burials in 1900 and evicted its existing dead soon after, and the graves went down the peninsula to a town that incorporated to receive them. Roughly a thousand people live in Colma above something like a million and a half buried ones. The town motto leans into it: it's great to be alive in Colma.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
