to think this is not right

[charleneanna]

ok my friend is a 20 year old single parent with a baby she is or was quiet happy in her flat until the other day, we were at hers and we heard some noise so we looked out of her window and the shop underneath her that had been empty for some time was open and a couple of freezers were being taken in so i said well maybe its gonna be a frozen food shop that would be brilliant but then yesterday the sign went up above the shop omg atwells after life its a bloody funeral directors now dont get me wrong they are needed but surely not a shop below a flat in a residential area my friend is now that terrified at going to bed above dead bodies that she has begged me to let her and baby spend the night at my house but my house is already overflowing sorry but this is notnright

I live in a very old convent, in the chapel part, actually. I have no doubt that many, many women have died here. I actually don't mind - I feel very comfortable here. Perhaps, OP, your friend should spend some time in a chapel / church / graveyard so as to get over her phobia (disclaimer - I am not Christian, am Jewish), so have no agenda re Christianity). IloveTiffany, I also adore old buildings, my current apartment is one, can send you some amazing photos of my lovely old building, if you want!

Uh Oh - It's getting Frankenstein's Funeral Parlour painted on the signage...

Charlene you're doing a fantastic job. I hope your friend is feeling better. Don't go away now x

Would it help if she went and talked to the undertakers? Might help her see they're responsible people doing a crucial job.

Apparently KateCroydon did want to reanimate this. Thank you Kate. I'd never have seen the zombie picture else. Genius HQ

Lol, Zombie thread.. hahahaha..

And such an apt thread to see the Zombie picture on

Gah! It isn't there since I added my post. Now I look insane.

There really are zombie pictures now though, honestly

I remember christmas 2006. We had a massive power cut in Jersey ad our flat at the time was next door to a funeral parlour

They were the only ones with power and lights on.

DH had just finished playing Dead Rising.

We upped our Zombie Plan that night.
