Leave this poor man alone.

Isn’t there a concern for groundwater filtration, etc.

I tell you what, this story just about brought tears to my eyes.

"We're not in the 1800s any longer," said city attorney Parker Edmiston. "We're not talking about a homestead, we're not talking about someone who is out in the country on 40 acres of land. Mr. Davis lives in downtown Stevenson."

Actually, we are in FACT talking about a homestead, you bastard.

The exhausted man explained “She keeps on digging herself out!”

Bah. In some parts of rural NC you can't drive 20 miles without seeing a farmhouse or a field without a small family graveyard near it.

I like it that way! I think its important not to hide graves away.

As a child I played bible school softball in a field where 3rd base was a grave marker. Old graves of people that I never knew, but that shared my last name was a quiet and powerful reminder that I had family that came before me and that there will be more after me... and each day is a gift!

Gadzooks! It is like I was just telling my old cuz here. When I go... I want to be planted under the outhouse 'cause with my prostate, old Wick would be plumb wore out digging me up every time I had to go--

I think she needs to go to a cemetery. First of all he will have a difficult selling the land if the body is on the land later on (or his family members). The new owners could never do any remodeling or anything with a body buried in the yard. It is dumb to have bodies buried in personal yards. The problems with that are just overwhelming.

If you select Broad Street, Stevenson, Alabama on Google Maps you will see that the houses are on small, suburb sized lots. There is not much acreage separating the houses at all. The town council might have it right, even though his heart is in the right place by submitting to her final wish.

Didn’t Jimmy Carter insist on being buried in his front yard? Or being stuffed and placed on his front porch?
