Advice please! Cemetery expanding on land virtually next to house

Our main worry is resale value and whether we will have trouble selling it on in a few years time. We were a little put off about the idea of having graves so close but would much prefer that than a massive block of flats!!0

About three quarters of people are cremated when they die these days and the percentage is growing.
It wouldn't bother me to live next door to a cemetery. A crematorium, maybe."If you think it's expensive to hire a professional to do the job, wait until you hire an amateur." -- Red Adair0 -
I don't like thought of being in the garden enjoying a summers day while someone is being buried just over the fence, not only is it going to be depressing to hear people sobbing, but kids playing and sounding like their having fun while that's going on is going to make them feel disrespected.
not only that councils step up maintaining land with mowers and strimmers and the like which means noise form 8:30am till 5PM while their getting on with cutting grass in sections (to drag the work out) cutting hedges, doing wabble testing, digging graves out with a mini digger machine.
but I would trade that for the like of nosey/noisey neighbors, plant machinery for building sites going on and on and on then more noise from housing estates when its built.0 -
I would not be a fan of living next to a cemetery
I'm sure there are many people out there who would love it purely because it's never going to be housing.
There seem to be a lot of people these days that would sooner live next to the gates of hell, than a site with the potential for planning permission for housing, especially if god forbid, it might include 40% affordable housing0 -
Some might consider the advantages for your funeral and the wake afterwards...0

Peace and quiet, extended greenery, wildlife in abundance, unlikely to be built on, visitors generally quiet, not swearing and respectful - residents rarely complain, the coolest Halloween parties, vast expanse for winter snowball fights, safe for cats to play, low pollution levels, few complaints at your noise, parties, bonfires, arguments, absence of light pollution.... need I go on?
I own and rent out an 18th century house next to a beautiful Norfolk churchyard - to a delightful clergyman - and he's happy to work from home, as it were. A modern site may be rather less idyllic, but the advantages are still all there.0 -
you lucky devil .Think of the advantages .A nice summer day and you could hang your washing over the headstones, perfect .;)"Do not regret growing older, it's a privilege denied to many"0

If you were bothered could you put some fast growing hedge along that edge in your garden ?0
