ELI5 Why do we bury the dead 6' under and not 2', 3', etc.

Tradition and wild animals. The last thing anyone wants is for a passing dog to dig up Grandma and bring her half decomposed leg home.

Also, putting them six feet under makes it very unlikely that a flood or other natural disaster will dig out and deposit the corpses all over the place, as that is both a sever health risk and a hassle to re identify and bury *each* and *every* corpse back into it's place.
