  • My brother actually lives in a graveyard,complete with a working chapel of rest.It's realy nice and peaceful.You forget about it after a while and at least the neighbours don't bother him.

    It's when the dog starts bringing in bones you've got to worry.Seriously though why would it bother you,as my old granny used to say "it's the living you've got to worry about not the dead".
    Who knows what is buried under the foundations of any of our houses.We could all be living on an ancient burial.
  • The dead won't hurt you it's the living you have to be careful of :rotfl:

    Apparently the chinese especially won't buy near grave yards but a friend of mine bought a beautiful aparment in the New Territories in Hong Kong nextdoor to a graveyard and the local pentacostal church. Sat on her roof terrace with a glass of red listening to the singing from the local church is magical but the residents of the graveyard don't join in much lol

    The UK property maket is getting more like a graveyard daily.

    If you can make it cheaper do so. If it's not reduced, in Primark, off ebay or free I can't have it

    "Resurrected" Burial Ground?

    Erm, that's a dodgy phrase to use. :confused:
  • My brother also used to live in the grounds of the local crematorium(his job),the house he had was brilliant,huge and realy lovely.He had one restriction placed upon him and that was he was not allowed to have barbecues in the garden area.(obvious reasons realy)
    All his children have grown up in these kind of surroundings and it's not been a problem.Second nature to them,all grown up perfectly normal adults with a healthy attitude towards life and death.It's only adults who tend to have a problem with it.
    We had many a happy family get together there as the place was huge and great for parties.
