That grave in the photo is in South Wraxall, where I was yesterday, and it reminded me of my childhood experience. These days, cemetery regulations are so strict that it could (almost) never happen again with new graves. They go around nudging old stones so hard that they fall over, so the church cannot be sued for any injury from a toppling one.<br /><br />Re cremation, Raz, I think it was Socrates who was asked what he wanted them to do with him after his death. He replied, "If you can find me, you can do what you like with me."Tom Stephensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05979590950587415840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505385214324438018.post-10397080600288349962011-07-29T21:21:04.412-07:002011-07-29T21:21:04.412-07:00Those same type of 'table' graves exist he...Those same type of 'table' graves exist here (often with strange greenhouses over them), but they simply take one side out, pop in grandpa, then cement it up again.
