Went to a funeral today. It was a burial, and it's been a very long time since I have been to one of those.
Yes, a sad time for all who were there.
But what got me, was the state of the graveyard. It's the biggest in Derby - with its own chapel - yet there were no toilets at all. Closed because of vandalism, and the gravestones, so many knocked down. They are knocked down because they may fall down and someone may claim. A sad place to be, it looked. After so long, no one goes to the graves here.
And the price you pay for the service? Well surely at that price there should be a service to look after and care for the plots too. Such a sad place!
