[78-L] Billy Murray At Holy Rood Cemetery---Reply From Authorities

[buster]

Betcha there's an unspoken religious element in play here too.   
Graveyards are about religion. And big bucks for the grief-exploiters  
who run them.

Who cares where a person's dust resides?  There's way more Billy in  
any crappy old cylinder or disc of his than in some random piece of  
earth someplace.
