    It wouldn't really bother me but I would be worried about future resale value. So if it was a forever home then not an issue. Although according to the results so far, it seems that not many people find it an issue either!

    I don't think the occupants of a cemetery would have too much trouble with your impenetrable boundaries if they were the restless type.

    No , but they'd be very unlikely to spirit any of our valuables away.

    Well, you know it's not going to get sold for development...

    That would certainly be a bonus around here! ;):p

    If it does, they would be rolling in their graves for sure

    At least it'll be deadly quiet at night.

    Far from it near where I live. The road leading to the cemetery is the local dogging area!!
    It's nothing , not nothink.

    It would be a bonus for me. I’ve always found them calming and peaceful. In fact I was always looking out for houses up for sale on a particular road backing onto a cemetery near me. I know they can have some dodgy goings on but they’re usually big enough for young drinker and lovers to do their stuff away from the neighbours. Better a cemetery over the back fence than a garden with a trampoline, BBQ and music playing every sunny day.
