Well, it sort of depends

LONDON – So you think London, population 8 million, is crowded with the living?...

Now the city's largest cemetery is trying to persuade Londoners to share a grave with a stranger.

Nobody knows, of course, but it's possible, isn't it, your stranger could be Jack the Ripper himself. How cool would that be?

"I don't even want to think about it," said 29-year-old London receptionist Temi Oshinowo. "It's not showing respect. It doesn't matter whether or not the person has been buried for 25 years or 100 years, that is their space and you should give them respect."

I don't know. Given the choice, Jack sounds good to me.
