From your article (Oxford Mail, May 21), there appears to be strong concern about burial room in the imminent future.
Would it not be more sensible to cremate corpses so that precious land is saved for more important things?
There is also no need to waste land by interring the resultant ashes.
Other options are available. An urn containing the remains could be placed on the sideboard within the family domain, within sight and sound of the television and Coronation Street.
Or it could be buried in the garden beneath a favourite tree or shrub.
My choice is for my dust to be scattered in the wind over our green and pleasant land. A spot with a nice view would be appreciated.
To think that hundreds of acres of our precious land will end up with rows and rows of graves all pointing monotonously to the east, in the direction of the Suez Canal. In a few years' time, no-one will remember them anyway.
