View Full Version : Dying Now Against Law In French Town
And you thought some of our laws were tough...
LE LAVANDOU, France (Aug. 22) - The mayor of a French Mediterranean town, faced with a cemetery ''full to bursting,'' has banned local residents from dying until he can find somewhere else to bury them.
Gil Bernardi, mayor of Le Lavandou on the coast 15 miles west of Saint Tropez, introduced the ban after a court rejected his plans to build a cemetery in a tranquil setting by the sea.
Bernardi said most locals had obeyed the edict so far, but he was desperately trying to find a resting place for a homeless man who had recently passed away in the town.
''Initially, the decree has been remarkably well followed,'' the mayor said.

InspectorExstead 08-24-2002, 07:00 PM :lol: This is hilarious. You can't forbid ppl to die! They've been dying for millions of years and everything. It shouldn't be too hard finding a place for a new cemetery.

Exactly what I was thinking too! I guess if you have the urge that you're going to die pretty soon, then they better take a trip into the next town.
Warm & Fuzzy 08-24-2002, 07:50 PM That is really one of a kind.
-- banning people from dying? Hmmm. :crazy:
What if you geat really, really sick.
Or have a "near death" experience?
Are those just misdemeanors? Will you have to pay a fine or something?
;)
