    Bartley Wilson's Headstone

    Had never really given a thought as to where he was buried, but Mossfords have visited his headstone and given it a clean for the first time in 25 years.

    Fascinating stuff thanks for posting

    Although I don’t suppose you see many Bluebirds in Western Cemetery

    What a difference (& a surprise), it’s cleaned up, as new. Thank you Bartley for the legacy.

    The follow on video was the Aberfan memorial. Brings tears to my eyes every time.

    That is one of the reasons why I believe people shouldn't spend thousands of pounds on a burial. At the time you would get a good send off but a couple of generations later you are forgotten about and the expensive headstone is left to rot. Also family members will be obliged to go to the grave at Easter, birthdays etc..i would say get on with your own lives

    Spend the money when you're alive. And have a crematorium.

    Building a crematorium would be well over the top. A cremation would be just fine. And you could burn Illia's chair at the same time..
