Death and money

There's money to be made from every major stage of human life, birth death and marriage/civil whatever etc etc etc. Just lately two planning applications have been submitted locally to meet the death stage.

In one the application is for a 5500 grave cemetery on green belt land south of Cambridge which the developers claim would be able to take people from across the Cambridgeshire region. Local councillors have claimed that it is a commercial venture. Now theres a surprise and perhaps not surprisingly the developers are appealing the refusal of permission.

Meanwhile over St Neots way an application has been submitted for a Neolithic style burial chamber to take cremation urns as cremations are more popular than burials now. The barrow would have 350 niches each capable of holding two or three urns with usage estimated at 130 urns a year.

Interesting stuff eh.
