Take the graveyard slot machines, on which is written large "it's for charity", like the one I photographed with the at the cemetery gates . It's a charge of 1 euro for a small candle and they donate the grand sum of 3 cents per candle. i.e. keeping 97 cents out of every 100 cents for their enterprise.Gwil Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03305768121713053837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8881054030497725613.post-36879344458315186952013-11-03T17:10:28.593+01:002013-11-03T17:10:28.593+01:00Have read the poem below Gwil - something I don...Have read the poem below Gwil - something I don't like about this, it all sounds too materialistic for this. I seem to think I paid £50 for my first husband's grave and that included a place for me too if I wished. Much more civilised.The Weaver of Grasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947971556343746883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8881054030497725613.post-54233027022474123522013-11-03T16:42:34.707+01:002013-11-03T16:42:34.707+01:00Certainly a grave situation.

I seem to think it's common practice in some European countries to routinely dig up the long-buried and stick the bones in charnel houses.<br /><br />The catacombs of Paris are stacked high with ornately arranged skeletal remains.<br /><br />Nevertheless - renting a grave? It certainly grates with one's sensibilities if one is used to the idea of permanent tenure.Dominic Rivronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02618013365521035400noreply@blogger.com
