Why the fuck would you make a tower into a graveyard? Why would you build upwards to bury corpses?
Wouldn't catacombs make more sense?

Not strictly relevant to Pokémon or Japan in general, but there is actually an answer to your question.

That's why Gen II makes more sense here.

A Radio Tower and a graveyard with supposedly hidden basements.

And for some reason everybody hates it.

That's not a tower, its just a big bowl to leave corpses to be eaten by birds

They hate it because you can't explore either of them.

Depends on the Tower in question. Some of them are taller than others, though the religion's in decline so we aren't exactly seeing a lot of new constructions. Still, sky burial is absolutely a reason to build upwards to handle corpses.

More than the tower aspect I've always found having graves inside weird. although considering it's Japan I'd assume all the bodies are cremated and it's not like the floor of the Pokemon Tower or Mt Pyer is full of Pokemon corpses, which makes it make a bit more sense.

to add I know corpses are often inside things like crypts or mausoleums, but those don't have gravestones sticking out of the floor.

Yes, it was already stated that the Pokémon Tower is not a Tower of Silence, but OP just asked why one would do it at all.

Towers of Silence aren't really usable anymore, because pesticides have wiped out most of the vultures in India, which iirc is where most Zoroastrians live. Corpses can spend months rotting on them now.

Also sky burial is not a form of interment, which is what OP is asking about.

To be fair, it's not like people were poisoning them on purpose. It just so happened that the most commonly used pesticide in India was absurdly toxic to vultures.
It has since been banned, but the population could take decades to recover.

The Zoroastrians aren't happy about this as burial and cremation are both sacrilegious to them, but they don't have any other options at the moment.
