A headstone was recently erected in Kilcully graveyard in Cork which the papers say measures fifteen foot by twenty foot. It is very ornate, depicts the gates of Heaven and is estimated to have cost in the region of €50,000. It dwarfs all the surrounding graves and relatives of those buried there are complaining that, as well as being a vulgar display, it could potentially fall over in strong winds. The family who put the headstone in place claim that this is their way of showing they love their relative. I would be very upset if something similar was put next to a family member of mine.
I know it is a delicate issue but I think that there should be size restrictions put in place in all graveyards. What do others think?
