The Ultimate Indignity - Go Rest In Peace Someplace Else

So you're laying there, dead, resting peacefully, and they come along and dig you up and bury you someplace else. How bad is that? On the one hand, if you're dead, you may not even notice. On the other hand, who really knows what's left after you're dead? Your eternal soul may need that body to stay connected to for some reason. What if they dig up your body and your soul can't find it again, for any recharging type thing you may need to do? And let's not even think about cremation and the mess that may cause.

The funniest part of this is the opportunity it provides to express discontent or get revenge on the not so dearly departed.

"I'm not paying for Uncle Pedro to be buried in paradise over there, he screwed around on Aunt Juanita and was a lousy drunk besides. Let them dig him up and throw him in the sewer for all I care."

What's not funny is the fact that this may be the trigger for the zombie attack? When the dead people see the other dead people getting moved that may be the key MOTIVATION to get these lazy dead bastards on the move again. And moving = energy = hunger = we are finished. If you don't believe in the impending zombie attack feel free to find whatever humor you can in the rest of this, but if I were you, I would take it seriously. Or not. Look, I'm not here to micromanage your lives. Just trust me on this.

Pushed for space, a Spanish cemetery has begun placing stickers on thousands of burial sites with lapsed leases as a warning to relatives that their ancestors face possible eviction.

Jose Abadia, deputy urban planning manager for Zaragoza in Spain's northeast, said Monday that the city's Torrero graveyard had already removed remains from some 420 crypts, and reburied them in common ground.

He said the cases involved graves whose leases had not been renewed for 15 years or more. Torrero, like many Spanish cemeteries, no longer allows people to buy grave sites, instead leasing them out for periods of five or 49 years.

Abadia said 7,000 of Torrero's 114,000 burial sites' leases had run out, many of which occurred because relatives — or caretakers — had died themselves, or moved house and failed to renew the contract.

In other cases, family descendants no longer wanted to pay for relatives' plots, he added.
