Woman exhumed boyfriend's ashes

Well, I don't think anybody connected to this tale is a heathen - at least I hope not! What a bunch of jerks! But note that the deceased was buried with "beer and cigarettes". An archeologist would call them "grave goods", and it's obviously another pagan survival that is little noticed, but frequently practiced.

Of course, had this occurred in the elder days, the lady doing the drinking would have found herself drinking bog water in short order, courtesy of the family of the deceased.

A woman has been arrested for allegedly digging up her dead boyfriend's ashes from a cemetery and drinking the beer that was buried with him.
