I have always felt a strange sort of peace in cemeteries, in fact my childhod home backed staright onto a CofE cemetery.
I remember one day I was off school, a burial tookplace right outside the bathroom window; anyways, the grave hadn't been dug large enough to take the casket so it was left at the side of the grave while all the mourners departe. Once they had ogne, the vicar, in all his ragalia was seen standing on the coffin in an attempt to make it go down into the grave. It was a windy day, and I recal and a young girl his gowns 'flapping in the wind as he attempted to push the casket in!
Howver my dear Dad, RIP, died in 1989. My religous nut mother has had the words 'Safe in Jehovah's memory' written in gold on his gravestone.
She's about to move away (so I've heard) so there will no longer be any family memeber who visit his grave apart form me. I was thinking about going along and 'blacking' out the wording. What do you guys think? Its just that the anniversay of his death just came and went, and there was only me that went and put flowers on his grave, so I don't suppose it is any relavence to the rest of the family is it? But I find it offensive to still have this name thrust down my throat.
INCIDENTALLY: when my dad died he hadn't been to the Khell for months. The last time he walked willingly into a Khell was to give me away at my wedding. He never went in again until he was carried in.
