|
|
Graves filled at least 100 years ago can be re-used under government plans to ease pressure on cemeteries.
Ministers say all designated burial space in England and Wales will be full in 30 years, unless changes are made.
In a technique called "lift and deepen" old graves will be deepened with room for up to six new coffins to be placed on top of the older remains.

Sensible idea. Most graves could be used on a higher rotation basis than that. _________________ His name was ernie ........ and he drove the fastest milk cart in the west..... |

I suppose it is only practical but I can see why some people might be upset about it though. Presumably they wouldn't re-use the grave if it is still attended? |

After 100 years!
It might be one of those 18 year old woman married to a 120 year old man type relationships? _________________ His name was ernie ........ and he drove the fastest milk cart in the west..... |

Some people put flowers on graves of relatives they didn't know. |

They should burry the coffins in an upright position ..... (stand to rest) ... fit a lot more in that way:) |
