rickets

I heard on Radio 4 the other day about a company in the UK who want to start up an 'eco-friendly' cemetery in some parkland in the Lake District. Once people are buried there, (in something very close to a cardboard box), no headstone will be erected, the environment will be left to return to as natural a state as possible.

But the locals, including the old codger who sold them the land in the first place, are now complaining about run-off contaminating their water-supply. The Cemetery people say it's clay and this won't be a problem. So now some govt body or other are conducting a report. Or someit.

Sounds lovely to me.

Cremation against your religion?
