A road sign pointing towards a cemetery in County Down has been changed following complaints that it was in bad taste.

    Over the top as usual. (Puns will be thrown at me).

    That reminds me. Apparently the wheelie bins outside Roselawn cemetery had to be replaced because they had written on them "no hot ashes".

    (the old ones are the best!)

    They have covered up the top half (as the new cemetery is not yet open) until separate signs are made.

    What nonsense. People who complain about stuff like this are just waiting to be put in one of the two places. Their lives are now pointless.

    Because it implies that the cemetery and recycling plant are linked in some way I would assume.

    I'd love nothing more than my decaying carcass to be used to make wicker baskets, or whatever it is they do.
