The chapter is dedicated to the expansion of cemeteries during the 20th century in Europe, in particular the expansion of monumental cemeteries. The chapter, dedicated to cemetery architecture, also includes new visions of inhabiting planet earth once the human being's life phase is over, such as the solution conceived and designed by Nanda Vigo. In 1959 Nanda Vigo envisioned a vertical cemetery for the municipality of Rozzano (Milan) in collaboration with engineers Corraglio and Giavanardi and architect Cesare Tacchio. The tower cemetery idea is to be read as a solution to the future saturation issue of horizontally developed 19th-century European monumental cemeteries and urban sprawl. With the proliferation of cities, in fact, cemetery areas have become increasingly closer to residential areas, preventing them from growing further. Nanda Vigo planned a bright building bearing no trace of the typically gloomy cemetery atmosphere and of burial classism since all burials in the tower are the same. The chapter also explores new forms of contemporary burial through new digital media and social networks.
