I take it they will dig everyone up after that but I will be dead so it won’t trouble me.
At the cemetery I will go in, because I left the village over 10 years ago, my plot doubles in price.
Also, the rules there say . .
" Grants of exclusive right of burial are granted for a period of 25/50 years. At the expiry of a fixed period for which such a right has been granted, the Council may offer an opportunity to purchase a further number of years.
The Council may servce notice of determination on those graves where the grave does not appear to be tended and where the right has not been exercised for 5/10 years.
The right will then cease unless the owner notifies the Council in writing of his/her wishes to retain it for a further period."
