Promise

I wonder if you realise that when you are buried (presuming you are dead!) you will be facing to the east. That is, imagine if you stood the coffin upright from the grave onto the foot end then you would be looking East (although the chances of you seeing anything are very slim. )This means therefore when you are in a Cemetery and you see Headstones back to back then one row will have the stone at the foot end. Today a strange thing happened when someone found this out and wanted the body exhuming and turning around??? This has never happened before in our knowledge. If you think of the phrase Rest in Peace then this would be a travesty in real terms. Our bodies are shells when we leave them and it is our souls that pass on. After a bit of talking and reassuring it is assumed that the people who requested this have had second thoughts. An exhumation is usually done in the early hours so as not to alarm passers by. Reports of Burke and Hare in the Graveyard do not go down well. Also present would be an Environmental rep, the police and of course the Clergy. My mate exhumed a body that had been down for a few years, and the head came off. Not nice so best to be left in peace and not in pieces ,don't you think?
