It’s easier to block/control/bury one thread. Policing two or three requires extra effort when you really don’t even want one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Buggane Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 (edited) Plenty of room to put up a boundary wall at the lawn cemetery. Plenty of room there and minimal cost as it will be paid for by placement of plaques over 20/30 years. As we all know it's going to happen, one constant in life.

Gladys Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 38 minutes ago, Cueey Lewis And The News said: Exactly it isn’t hard to work out the basic flaws in this whole idea. Ringing up or writing to the family of the dead after 10 years. Finding they’ve moved house, or left the IOM (or are even dead themselves). Then trying to find who the successor to the agreement is and pissing off a load of people in the meantime over a highly emotive tribute to a dead relative they bought in good faith. But the charge will apply to new plaques not the existing ones, so families will know they have to pay again after 10 years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn’t mean that they won’t move location, change address, die, or otherwise be hard to trace when the renewal comes up. It’s a completely idiotic idea that is fraught with opportunities for bad press and unnecessarily pissing people off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may know that Glad but there may still be problems in getting in touch with them. Moving house etc. Maybe there could be discounts for extended periods etc 50 % off per annum for 50 years or so. In all truth, and it sounds heartless but who is going to cough up for a plaque for some long deceased ancient relative they never met. Money would be better spent on an appropriate charity ( although they probably wouldn’t do that either) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But my point is that the charge is not being applied retrospectively to people who have bought plaques in good faith in the knowledge that there is no further charge.
