LONDON – A survey has revealed that most Brits do not wish to be buried in a traditional plot, choosing unusual places such as a favourite holiday destination, a place from their childhood or even their own garden.
Age Concern said being laid to rest in churchyard or garden of remembrance was rejected by 55 percent of 2,068 people, who also fail to tell their loved ones about their choice.
And some of their more bizarre choices of where to be buried included a council tip, the desert, the start or finish of the Le Mans race track or a scrap yard.
