Double decker burialsIt has been announced that we are running out of burial space in our cemetery's.
A friend emailed me with this question for forum members.
What do you think?

Here’s a question for the forum - I do look on there to see what the latest is, Mr Hobbs  )
If people start digging up graves to put extra people in them, as per the attached article, could this not evoke a surge of disgruntled spirits?
It’s commonly said that the deceased don’t like change and hauntings sometimes start up when people change the deceased’s home around, so is it not possible they could come back if their grave was messed with?
I’d be most upset if my final resting place was churned up and a someone else was dumped in with me. What a cheek. You’re bled dry with a mortgage when you’re alive and when you die, when you finally think you’re safe, squatters move in!

It's an interesting question though I wonder why they didn't post this up themselves? Are they having trouble registering? Or do they need help with how to post etc?

Compulsory cremation is the answer. I've never liked the idea of burial anyway.
Being planted like some dafodil bulb.
The Catholics won't be happy, so what's new?

Bury people under trees, the saplings will groiw, people will see a living thing when they mourn. The earth becomes greener, we get more beautiful woods instead of stone work everywhere. Everones a winner.
It's in my will already.
Bury my naked carcass and plant a tree thereof.

We do think alike Sam.
Mine is booked already.

I must say I don't really care what they do with me after I die.
I have never really liked the idea of people coming to cry over me, or to talk to a grave, but if they feel the need, then thats fine.
I'd rather people talked to me whether I was alive or dead, in an every day sort of way. I talk to my Dad. I get answers.
Whatever they do with me, my body will become part of the world again.

Lay me on a rock so I may be pecked by birds.
I coouldn't care less either actually. What a terrible thing to say about the body that's seen you through your life.
I like the idea of the tree planting thing though.
I think by the time any of us will die compulsory cremation will come in as law regardless of any will.
There is only so much land to go around.

Once the spirit is out of the body, why would you care? If you are alive as an energy form in the light, why be concerned about the rotten meat you left behind?

Thats right.
What's an energy form Tommy?

Because family and friends mourn over that rotten meat.
To them, Its their mum/dad/gran/gramps/sister/brother/child.

That's a very important point you raise Swanny.
The whole process of how we treat our dead is for the sake of the ones left behind not for the dead person themselves.
Even the grave we leave them to rot in or the ashes we reduce them to are nothing more than a focal point for our grief.
We don't mourn the dead. We mourn for ourselves and the idea that we will never see them again.

I don't mind the idea of double deckers... it appears to be needed in many places due to lack of space
