Poundland Cemetery's?

Essex Council bans ornaments from Cemeteries: 'Poundland' graves to go | Mail Online

What do people think - tacky and inappropriate or modern mourning?

 

[cHodAX]

Wow, I am lost for words at the moment.

 

[leviathane]

gonna be honest, think it's massively tacky. I don't mind flowers but stuff like that is a little ott imo for a graveyard.

 

[Gwadien]

I don't like it either, but end of the day, it's like sort of a dodgy issue, because effectivelly where the grave is 'your land' and you can do what you want, at a guess...

 

[Mabs]

think its spot on
you want to do it at home, knock yourself out, cemetrys are public areas and if your disturbing people then feck off

 

[gohan]

alot of them where childrens graves tho, bit ott maybe, but whose to say really

 

[Mabs]

because effectivelly where the gave is 'your land' .

wrong

 

[Gwadien]

wrong

Ah, I thought you actually bought the land and had deeds and all that jazz, my bad

 

[old.Tohtori]

Personal gravestones, be it a pink flamingo etc, fine, but sometimes you have to take a look back and see that enough is enough.

Windchime for example, it's not limited to your grave, it's basically dingeling for the whole party.

In short; within some reason it's ok.

Get some weird ones round here! That's just down the road from me.

 

[Wazzerphuk]

Definitely inappropriate (apostrophe usage).

Hrhrhr.

I don't think its anyone else's business to tell the bereaved how to show their respect for the loss of their loved ones...but I do think that cemeteries should have a certain amount of dignity. I think at the end of the day, it would probably be best to leave the stuff alone. Unless it looks like a poundland store, in which case a tactfully worded letter or a personal visit in the first instance might be appropriate.

 

[sayward]

Whatever helps you through it.

 

[Cerb]

What if rubbing my knob on your dead grans gravestone helps get me through it?

 

[Ezteq]

I like my graveyards like I like my men...old and creepy.



...wait erm Oo

 

[megadave]

Do it when nobody is looking


What if all your horrible ugly tacky shit upsets other mourners in the same cemetery?

 

[rynnor]

They just need to split and open seperate traditional and 'anything goes' cemetaries - currently anyone who buries a loved one signs a contract that has covenants restricting all this clutter round a grave so these are all breaking those covenants.

 

[Edmond]

I like my graveyards like I like my men...big and dark.



...wait erm Oo

Fixed that for ya

If you rub long enough you might.

Unless your manbits are made of granite, its going to be a tad painful....but some people are into that thing....

Gives a new meaning to rock hard.

TdC could have new swaffling adventures

 

[Nate]

TdC was arrested this morning for publicly swaffling a stuffed cuddly toy of postman pat and his black and white cat. The incident occured in a children's section of the Colchester cemetery?

Oh I just made 5,000! I wish I had over 9,000

 

[TdC]

lies, I have never been arrested for swaffling anything. I'm like a swaffling NINJA

"There are things that go swwwsh in the night..."

 

[rynnor]

Its funny the timing of this story because I was out walking the dog the other night and went past the local cemetery.

As we went by I could see these little lights and thought 'fuckit, I've finally gone fruit loop and started seeing things' but on closer inspection there were solar lights and even a light up wreath in there so its not confined to essex...

 

[Lamp]

you sure you weren't walking past Rod Stewart's gaff?

 

[Job]

It is a class thing, the idea that death should be all serene and miserable is justconvention pushed by the hyper conservative church, the Indians set fire to you and send you off down the river, some cultures smoke your body and keep it in the house.
I hate chaviness as much as the next man, but I can't complain about this, our idea of solemness and rows of stark headstones needs changing, we shouldn't die the meek robot workers we live.

 

[Billargh]

Exactly, like. Not the real deal.

 

[Everz]

Pretty sure the corpse doesn't give a shit.
