Oh, that was next door, 55 not 56.

It says it is being sold by the council, I guess they bought it.

😂

It's not a current listing. It sold in 2021 for £90k

Gah, I was right the first time. Listed Jan 2021, sold in April 2021.

Could have put the ashes in the garden instead. Some people alive or dead can be very selfish to their heirs or creditors. Am surprised the family/executor got permission from whoever it is that decides such things. The neighbours must be delighted too. Why though I ask myself, why?

Wouldn't care less about it tbh, unless it was visited by weirdo types [not relatives].
The dead don't bother me, it's the living that are the problem.
I accidently dug some of my mums ashes in my garden yesterday when I was planting a rose bush for her. I did apologise to her.
Her ashes will still be there in years to come, so someone will aquire her.

I must be blind. I can't see where he's buried.

In the above ground tomb, front garden.

Ah I was looking at the back garden!

What if people want to visit the grave in the middle of you hot tub party....

DH and I are actually toying with this idea. We’re childfree so not especially worried about how easy our house is to sell or its value, we love our garden, and the idea of being here for eternity - with a covenant written into the property title to say as much - seems fitting. I used to own and live in a converted church with a working churchyard, so I’ve never been particularly perturbed by having graves in the garden and quite like the idea of someone who feels likewise will buy the house and turn us into a water feature or a pet lavatory.

Lol that’s not the grave in the front garden! 😂😂

I'm glad you've posted that. I was thinking it seemed remarkably familiar. I wouldn't have an issue with the grave in the garden. His relatives wanting to visit it would be another matter.

This one again? Can't believe it hasn't sold yet. 🤣

I'd happily buy it subject to being shown credible proofs of permits for the burial and given a legally witnessed copy to keep (in case I ever wished to sell).

there are bodies everywhere you step so that part wouldn't bother me, I wouldn't want to be seeing a big ugly headstone every time I went out in my garden though!

When we were reading up about the required permissions and legal stuff, what tickled me most was the advice that you contact your local community policing team before the burial goes ahead, so that your neighbours don’t see your wife stashing your corpse in a trench in the back garden and assume the worst 😂

That's exactly what I thought as well! Either not thought through well if at all, or a posthumous two fingers to the offspring!

Probably hard to get a mortgage on it. Can’t imagine any of the banks would lend on it due to it clearly being hard to sell.

The body wouldn’t bother me at all tbh but the position of it would - you’d never be able to have an extension or dig footings for anything.

Wouldn't bother me.

What do people think it's going to do? Jump out at them when they're not expecting it? Knock on the door in the middle of the night and ask to use the loo?

talking point at a bbq I spose. odd part the garden too belongs to the Council plus house seems to need a lot doing in it so not surprising its not selling

Not for me . One thing to bury your pet cat but totally another to have a randoms body there .

Wouldn't bother Me and I wouldn't dream of digging him and his coffin up.

It also wouldn't bother Me to live in a house where somebody was murdered or committed suicide.. I would just feel sorry for them somewhat and move on.
