Hi Listers... Am I the only one receiving this message multiple times?

I repeat, they are recycled after 50 years if no one pays for the fee for the plot and no one claims responsibility and they cannot find a living relative the bones along with the stones are used for construction on their adobe houses, used for land fill and placed and used to support road bed foundations, including the caskets of what is left of them from rot, most bones are ground up for road support and their adobe houses with the half-timbers. Hope that helps one can think about cremation as it is the same mind set. Heavy stuff, it is done in most European countries where land is valuable. Sorry for the unpleasant news. Life is strange indeed. No respect! Even after death you are still a usable commodity for something. Spread the word to your seekers of common knowledge of how to use everything for a purpose nothing goes to waste reprocessed into usable material for the living and it is just another means of useable material such as cement and there maybe some of your ancestors become part of the concrete used in building roads. In some cases used for animal feed ground up, lot of calcium and other nutrients. This is the truth I do know of that for a fact, it is only realistic to people who need building supplements. Encouraging thought, best to have ancestor remains shipped to the US where land is not a factor yet!...
