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.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
