Subject: RE: Hindu wins UK funeral pyre battle
It's all a little morbid for me. I'm not going. I've decided I like it here. ;0)

But..if I HAVE to go, then I'd like daffodils to grow on my grave...

St. Just in Roseland has quite the most beautiful churchyard you could ever imagine...

And two of my dogs are buried high on a hill above Penzance, on a farm..It's a special animal cemetery and the lady started it when her horse died. He was the love of her life, on a par with her husband, so she told us, with a smile. He'd lived to a grand old age, the horse..and when he died she buried him in a field, planting an apple tree on his grave.

Pretty soon, she had a whole darn orchard! And each tree marked the resting place of a beloved horse companion.

Next came a field for the dogs, one for the cats, the guinea pigs etc...

And now, she has a field for their owners too...an environmentally friendly burial field...

She's planning on being buried next to her horse....

Everywhere you go there are roses, trees, bushes..and so much love. The first thing she does, when you arrive is take you round her farm animals...showing you life, rather than death..and you get to meet Noah, her award winning bull, who loves to have his nose tickled! :0) She gives him a shampoo regularly and he's won soooooo many prizes around the country...he's golden coloured and very handsome!

This is where my dogs are..

Penwith Woodland Burial - Cornwall

My other dear dog, is buried near Kingsbridge...under a circle of tall trees, surrounded by other much loved animals...and the only sound you can hear is the wind gently rustling the leaves..and the cows mooing in the surrounding fields. So peaceful...

Meadow Wood Pet Cemetery


I love wandering through churchyards, looking at names, matching everyone up, imagining their lives...their faces, their homes, their families..seeing them in their clothes, according to whatever period they lived in...My imagination brings them all alive again.. :0)

I don't like crematoriums, find them horrible places...Yuk!
