Can you imagine the arguments if there had been a will.

 

[anything I don't mind]

Just cremate it. I am against burying people, i think its disgusting. All those decomposing bodies, what are we going to do with them all? Loads of land wasted on grave yards. If i was king i would outlaw burying the dead and make everyone cremate the dead. Such a silly old tradition.

I hope they bury him in York. That way I can go visit the grave when I'm next there on holiday.

 

[anything I don't mind]

What do you want to visit the grave for? lol

I dunno. Same reason I went to see Dick Turpins grave I suppose. To be able to say that I had. *shrug*

JAll those decomposing bodies, what are we going to do with them all?

Nothing - that's the point. They don't need a yearly service or anything.

Loads of land wasted on grave yards.

Hardly. Also, you do realise that cremated remains are typically housed at graveyards too, right?

 

[arknor]

they should give him an osama bin laden burial

 

[leaskovski]

I want to know if the relatives are just bog standard people or lords or somat?

 

[arknor]

either way they probably want the grave to be somewhere they can charge people to view it or sell them novelty crap

 

[anything I don't mind]

How did they know it was him?

 

[shadow_boxer]

How the hell would the family know what he would've wanted. Decision should lie with the researchers/archaeologists who discovered him.

 

[Von Smallhausen]

Why not have a pitched battle at Bosworth Field between the Leicester and York camps to sort it out ?

Please don't confuse groen with facts bless him.

This sadly.

Given that the body would never have been found I would say without doubt they deserve to make the decision.

Please don't confuse groen with facts bless him.

Ah yes, sorry about that.

I am more concerned with Richard III receiving a Protestant burial. He was a Catholic King and as such should be buried according to the rights of the Catholic Church.

Nobody would dream of giving him a Muslim or Jewish burial.

Utter drivel , burying bodies returns useful nutrients to the Earth to be used again, burning them just wastes energy and leaves not a great deal behind.

NEWS FLASH, stuff has been dying on Earth since the beginning of life and not one life form was cremated until humans started doing it.

Cremation - stupid human idea and such a silly old tradition
