    That's just not right...

    Part of my current bus route has me driving past a beautiful cemetery, with a huge funeral home/crematorium on the other side of the road.

    The other day they'd put up a portable sign in front of the funeral home advertising a "Children's Easter Egg Hunt" to be held there.

    I don't know if I want to know where they'd hide the eggs.

    "Hey Timmy, help me roll this dead guy over, I think I see an egg under his back"!

    Just had to share this, as I darn near drove off the road laughing when I first saw the sign. A sick mind is a terrible thing to waste.

    Hmm, well, it is a rather large area. Easier for greater numbers of kids to roam. While the youth are gathering up new memories, some of the elder and venerated can reminisce.
    Go, have fun, don't work at, make it fun! Kilt them, for they know not, what they wear. Where am I now?

    I think it's a marvelous idea. Seems most of the residents wouldn't complain, now would they? :rollseyes:

    I remember the cemetery near my grandparents house when I was a child. It was actually my favorite place to play.

    As a teenager, we'd go play frisbee or throw a football around the cemetery. I guess an Easter egg hunt isn't so bad.

    In the early US cities,,, families would picnic on their plots... because sometimes it was the only green space that they had, and then they put up little fences. I learned that on numerous tours of historic cemetaries. ...I used to have pictures but have no idea where they are.
    Here is an article about picnics in cemeteries:
