Well Gina, when I buried both my parents, we were told the stones couldn't be laid for a year. Perhaps it depends on the kind of earth. In the Chilterns it's very Chalky.
Hi tonyav, yes I live in Ibiza and we do not have a 1.8metre dish so cannot get ITV or BBC so I have to download it from the internet as soon as it's put on which is usually the next day. I get used to knowing who got kicked out of xfactor etc before i actually see it!
...and here we are buried in the walls (niches) and the headstone is cemented on right away if one can afford it, stops the buggars escaping I suppose!!!
