There are countries where the habit of burying the bodies on top of each
other because of the lack of spaces in a cemetery. At a recent
gen.society meeting, a lady that had been in England was told by the
rector at the church that they rotated where bodies were buried because
of this. Maybe we need to return to the Indian's ritual burning of the
body. I hope this doesn't offend anyone but not every one cares about
what happens a 100 years down the road. Or if we weren't such a mobile
society, we could have private cemeteries on our properties, which
hopefully would remain in the family from to eternity. Jacque R

There are all kinds of horror stories but I am with Jack. Someone draw
up a form letter and each of us can forward to cemeteries, funeral homes
and our local representatives in each of our areas.
