Title: Sacred burial
Post by: Hannahville on Wednesday 01 January 25 16:52 GMT (UK)
I remember reading about a  Millionaire who was refused permission to bury his son in consecrated ground. He got round this by having the burial outside the sacred area and by buying additional ground and contributing this to the  church achieved the same aim. I thought it was  Onasssis but cannot find any tracee of this. If anyone else can help it wouldbe appreciated
