Cemetery full, mayor tells locals not to die Wed Mar 5, 3:58 PM ET
BORDEAUX, France (Reuters) - The mayor of a village in southwest France has threatened residents with severe punishment if they die, because there is no room left in the overcrowded cemetery to bury them.
In an ordinance posted in the council offices, Mayor Gerard Lalanne told the 260 residents of the village of Sarpourenx that "all persons not having a plot in the cemetery and wishing to be buried in Sarpourenx are forbidden from dying in the parish."
It added: "Offenders will be severely punished."
The mayor said he was forced to take drastic action after an administrative court in the nearby town of Pau ruled in January that the acquisition of adjoining private land to extend the cemetery would not be justified.
Lalanne, who celebrated his 70th birthday on Wednesday and is standing for election to a seventh term in this month's local elections, said he was sorry that there had not been a positive outcome to the dilemma.
"It may be a laughing matter for some, but not for me," he said.

They should do like they do in Japan. Bury them standing up. Only takes 1 sq. meter of land.

Re: I knew it I Knew it now I can't even Die
I see your point, but I doubt they will be digging up those already laid to rest and resituating their bodies.They should do like they do in Japan. Bury them standing up. Only takes 1 sq. meter of land.
I've heard of stacking caskets before as well. Cremation seems to save the most room.

Re: I knew it I Knew it now I can't even Die
NOW you know why they put fences around cemeteries, People are just dying to get in there!
