Who all pay for it of course. The Crem usually makes a profit for the ratepayers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want, I could bury you there and nobody would be the wiser, sooner rather than later, might be better as the ground is really soft at the moment. Then you probably won't feel so aggrieved over the up keep of the village graveyard at St Peters Church.

Fred the shred Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Where did I day I was aggrieved ? I was merely stating a fact in reply to MM commenting about the Douglas rate payers paying for the crematorium and it being used by people all over the Island. I expect all the Parishes have graveyards to maintain and this is included in the rates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
