Eternal Life In France?



Couldn't resist posting this. The above is a view of a cemetery in France. This ties to the news article I found where the headline is: "French village bans death". It goes on to say -

The mayor of a French village has issued a decree banning residents from dying in his territory unless they own a spot in the overcrowded cemetery.

"It is forbidden for any person not having a plot in the cemetery ... to die on the territory of the village," the mayor of the southwestern village of Sarpourenx wrote in a decree that warned of "severe punishment" for offenders.

I wonder just how the offenders who die there without a "permit" are going to be severely punished by the village? Maybe this is the place to go if you want to live a long time :-)
