Hi Toni,  Have you had any reply to your e-mail to the council, or are we doomed to loose another cemetery.

I know that this is a delicate subject,  but it is one that has been happening for many many years.   The founding of municipal cemetries was a direct consequence of the vicars and priests in local churches,  overloading their churchyards,  such that there was contamination of water courses.  There was also a major "scam" of burying people for a fee (of course) and then  "off loading" another "internee".  There is of course much more control with the municipals,  tho' of course,  from time to time,  things may change and the departed may well have to be moved.  It is very sad,  but I am sure due respect is paid.  I hope so anyway!!

I hope something is done about this, if we, as a secular, independent, yet representative of the public body cannot overcome this then it seems we've lost our most basic rights!

More information about the initiative please!

Hi,
   I have been backtracking through the Lancashire Telegraph to see if there has been any decission made, but  nothing in yet. There are a number of comments against this and people are very upset.  Which brings me back to my E-Petition to the Prime Minister to Save our Churches and Graveyards. Something must be done to save our dignity after we are gone.

I'll get off my soapbox now and get on with finding something else to moan about.

How infuriating!

It's almost as though they do these things just to really p**s you off.

I'd be voting Mr Ullah out at the next election.

How dare they!

I'm fuming!

Where's that petition Lynn? Can Aussies sign?

[Tephra]

Usually if you're an expat you can sign the petitions Ruskie, that's how I do it.

I was disgusted that they would even THINK about it.
