Chinese eye eco-burials as graveyards fill up

Cars from Beijing crowded the parking lot of Lingshan Pagoda Cemetery in Sanhe city days before Tomb Sweeping Day, which falls on Monday. Located about 50 kilometers from Beijing, the 50-hectare cemetery is one of the most popular burial sites for Beijing residents.

The cemetery's management company is even headquartered in downtown Beijing's central business district to better serve its clients in the capital.

"Rest assured, the tombs here are much bigger than in Beijing," an employee surnamed Chen told a potential client.
