Rathbone Uncovered

[Eva Elisabeth]

Emma,
please see the comment I posted today on the other thread. The handling might seem ludicrous to you, but it is the way they do it, in fact, nowadays and due to their own statement, always did. As I said, there is no law or prescription for the cemeteries what to do. Desposing would have costed the same or even been more costly. Nevertheless there are cemeteries that do this, e.g the one where my father and grandparents are buried. The different traditions seem to be linked to general differences in traditions between Lutherian dominated North and Roman-Catholic areas, where I originally come from. Although disturbing final rest is generally disrespectful, I personally think this way is still less disrespectful than disposal.
