observer Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 Believe mass graves are now being dug, in preparation for the second round of the swine flu - guess they won't be charging for the burial?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dizzy Posted September 13, 2009 Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 Well what a miserable topic to end a lovely summers weekend They talked about the need for mass graves in 2006 with the bird flu scare which they said 'would' mutate but they were uncertain 'when'. It was a worst case scenario option should a pandemic ever arise as local grave space would soon run out. Surely cremation would be better though as you wouldn't need so much space Bit scarey though as I was told a few years ago that some land up near by Hill Cliff Cemetary was being 'saved' for a mass burial site and I remember laughing and saying don't be so ridiculous Maybe there was more truth to it than I thought and they have just closed St Thomas's graveyard for new burial plots ... still it's a nice view from Hill Cliffe and very peacefull Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

observer Posted September 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 Believe it's Warrington Cemetary - presume they'll supply a communal headstone?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 Diz, take satisfaction in the thought that it won't be a Council House Estate or a Traveller's site! No doubt either would still gain appropriate approval to be 'on top' in a few year though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer Posted September 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 Believe these sites will be tempory, and for those left, who want a proper burial, bodies can be exhumed for re-burial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
