How lovely: in the 'decommisssioned" cemetery of St Luke's Chelsea the old denizens put to rest in the 19th c have great fun: - here their bodies are constantly watered by the visiting canine population of Chelsea - elsewhere they are lulled in the constant hum of vehicles accessing the tarmac leading to the parish church. Nearby the same graveyard is turned into a football pitch for the benefit of entertaining the "dearly departed". Equal fun must have the Cadogan family Patrons of this parish church, as they were put to rest in the church vault: this was transformed into a club for the deprived youngsters who can play pool in good company! Who said that the CoE is not a progressive religion and a great leveler? The Earls Cadogan have never had it so good!
If Roman Catholic is a good religion to die in, then certainly the CoE beats it by far in offering unlimited fun in after life! Take your pick!
