In the local area there are some really nice park areas that are taken up by tombstones and (presumably) lots of bones in wood boxes. Wouldn't it make more sense to bury people straight into the ground and then utilize the area as a parkland? When I die I want to be buried at the foot of a tree or something - I am very much against having a 'hallowed' ground where my body is entrenched. Comments? --- Dave Taylor
