    now. Graves having tombstones over them will be known for a very long time because the date will be on them. There are local families in our parish who have relatives buried in grave yards in other parishes and it is in these graveyards that these families expect to be buried too.
    Graveyards are sacred and should not be interfered with or disrespected in any way. It is said that a certain man drew clay off a graveyard and used it for top dressing on one of is fields and that no grass grew on that field for seven years.
