I actually remember learning that no one living in that area could be buried in the cemetery. Fun fact!

Because living people usually don't get buried. Only dead ones

You'll be pleased to know that despite your attempt I got someone with that joke :)

That’s such a weird rule. I wonder why. I guess maybe they don’t want to have superstitious buyers in the future worry about ghosts having a short commute back to their old homes?

[–] Sundial@lemm.ee 39 points 2 months ago (3 children)

What? No, it's because they're still alive silly :).

Sometimes, dead IS better.

If tv shows have taught me anything, with the right mob connection you can get an exemption to that rule.

Well maybe if Billy Batts woulda’ kept his mouth shut he wouldn’t be bleedin’ out in the trunk of the Cadillac
