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.

Anyone caught by a volcano would beg to differ.
Except they can't. They died by fire. :p

Lay the King to rest in the sea. Good on the environment, and gets around the whole burial / exhibit quandry.

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

Cremation - stupid human idea and such a silly old tradition

Yes, however we're running out of suitable places to keep burying people and therefore we need to start cremating people instead of burying them.
 
He should be reburied in York, Leicester's only interest is tourism they shouldn't have dug him up if they wanted him to remain there.

just fine a nice big sink hole and chuck bodies down it preferably one not near an underground water source.

I don't know why everyone needs their own grave , they can chuck me down a drain for all I care once I'm dead I won't be needing this body anymore
 
Love the 'relatives' thing. Given how many generations have passed, it's pretty likely that there are a few thousand 'relatives' around the country

I seem to remember that after 25-30 generations there may be up to a million people related to a single forebare!

They're not even direct decedents as Richard III didn't have any children. They're all descended from his sister.

I think I heard on Radio 4 the figure was around 1.7m people would claim being descendants.
 
Find out where they are building a new council carpark and stick him under there, didn't do him no harm last time.
