UPDATED...200 Bodies to be Moved!!!!
« on: Sunday 14 October 07 19:38 BST (UK) »
Headlines in my Evening paper yesterday.


200 Bodies to be moved. Cemetery to be dug up for orbital road.

I was gobsmacked when i saw this.  How can people play god. Do the words that are spoken
"REST IN PEACE" not mean anything any more?

I was told by a priest not so long ago that bodies aren't allowed to be moved once they are buried.  How have they got around that then?

Pels.,

From that site:
"The council has not found any living relatives of those buried there"

Wonder how hard they tried, surely someone here could help!
