I've been to BURY ST. EDMUNDS (U.K.). Does anyone know if St. Edmunds is actually buried there?

The name Bury is a form of borough, which has cognates in other Germanic languages such as the Old Norse "borg" meaning "wall, castle"; and Gothic "baurgs" meaning "city". They all derive from Proto-Germanic *burgs meaning "fortress". This in turn derives from the Proto-Indo-European root *bhrgh meaning "fortified elevation", with cognates including Welsh "bera", "stack" and Sanskrit bhrant- "high, elevated building".\n\nAs for Saint Edmund, they say he died in the battle which took place at Hoxne, some 20 miles south-east of Thetford, and the king's body was ultimately interred at Beadoriceworth, the modern Bury St. Edmunds.

Last time I checked York is in England.  What's your point?\n\nJust because it's also in the UK, doesn't mean it's wrong to say it's in England too.

Probably the nearest to you is St Augustines on Harehills Road.  its further down towards Chapeltown....\nI know there is Corpus Christi in Halton Moor either - if the 91 bus still runs down Harehills Lane it will drop you more or less outside the door (will take about 15 mins if that!)

I think you might be looking for Westminster Abbey. \n\nBurials and Memorials\nHenry III rebuilt the Abbey in honour of the Royal Saint Edward the Confessor whose memorial and relics were placed in the Sanctuary. Henry III was buried nearby as were the Plantagenet kings of England, their wives and relatives. Subsequently, most Kings and Queens of England were buried here. Although Henry VIII and Charles I are buried at St. George's Chapel, Windsor Castle, as are all monarchs and royals since George II.\n\nAristocrats were buried in side chapels and monks and people associated with the Abbey were buried in the Cloisters and other areas. One of these was Geoffrey Chaucer, who was buried here as he had apartments in the Abbey as he was employed as master of the Kings Works. Other poets were buried around Chaucer in what became known as Poets' Corner. Abbey musicians such as Henry Purcell were also buried in their place of work. Subsequently it became an honour to be buried or memorialised here. The practice spread from aristocrats and poets to generals, admirals, politicians, scientists, doctors, etc., etc. These include:\n\nBuried\n\nNave\n*Clement Attlee, 1st Earl Attlee\n*Angela Georgina Burdett-Coutts\n*Charles Darwin\n*Paul Dirac\n*James Clerk Maxwell\n*J.J.

My research says it will be returned to the Egyptian authority after it is preserved. It was taken illegally from Egypt, kept in a shoe box and sold to the highest bidder.So legally it still belongs to them.\n Whether it impacts our faith is up to us. whether it affects the Catholic church? Who can say? I believe we have a voice to "Cry in the wilderness" about the way the Catholic church keeps alot of the ancient writings hidden from public knowledge. Maybe if we "Cry" loud and long enough the overwhelming volume will open the dusty vaults and let the light of knowing the truth in. Seek and you will find, much of todays Christian belief is questionable. How much is defined by what the Big Bad Catholic church has hidden from us we can only guess. Jesus axtolls us to 'Heed not that we be deceived.'It scares me to no end how we have already been so deceived

I'm American, and I've been to a couple of Guy Fawkes nights in the UK, so I suppose some Yanks have heard of The Guy.  Haven't been to any big-city bonfires, but I must say the small town of Bassingham, Lincolnshire has a nice (large!) bonfire coupled with good food and drinks stalls.\n\n Fiery effigies of Catholics?  Not familiar with that...most photos of flaming effigies I've seen in the last 30 years have depicted US presidents, which have all been Protestant since Kennedy was assassinated in 1963.

I have not read this book, was it co-authored? \n\nYou are right about the monument spheres in the Marion cemetary!! I had to bury my 14 year old son Patrick there last July. He's in the section behind the Harding memorial.\n\nSorry about any bumming out.

ask the cemetary who performed the service where the body was sent for burial after it left their care. they should absolutely know where it went - in the US it's the law.\n   also, if you have trouble there, check the legal burial records with the county the service/burial was in as they will have records where the body was sent.

Ask the undertakers/funeral managers...they should know.

that's pretty simple. Just ask whoever is in charge at the cemetery. They should know the answer. You could also plant a tree of remembrance in your own yard. My thoughts and prayers are with you in your difficult time.

I've heard of pet cemeteries.  There are probably all dog cemeteries, but then if they buried you in it, it would no longer be an all-dog cemetery.  Once they bury a human in an all-dog cemetery, you have no idea what may be next!  Maybe even cats!!!!!  Perish the thought!

The Whole story is based on a land owner supposedly from Nottingham that was named Robert Hod. He became disillusioned with his family's way of life and went to live as a hermit in the wilds of the country side. There are accounts of a wild woodman attacking travellers on the local roads, which is ultimately where the tales come from. \n\nThis has always been attributed to Nottingham and Sherwood Forest, However a recent discovery about 2 miles outside Sheffield throws the whole story into a different direction. Remains of a primitive hovel were discovered and dated back to about 1120 AD and believe it or not Sheffield Council and Tourism Board are in the process of trying to prove outright that Robin Hod (Hood) was in fact a Yorkshire man who never went near Nottingham or Sherwood Forest.\n\nHope that helps a bit.\n\nRob

I think you are talking about the re burials?\n\nhttp://starbulletin.com/2005/12/27/news/story02.html

Dear Friend,\n\nThis is essentially two questions -- one sounding in contract and one sounding in real estate.  \n\nFirst, at or before the time your father was buried, there should have been an agreement made with the cemetary as to how the grave would be kept.  Who made that agreement with the cemetary?  What did it say about your stepmother?\n\nSecond, who owns the plot?  If your family owns it/bought it/ paid for it, their word is final.  If not, not.\n\nTalk to the cemetary about who gets to make this decision.\n\nYours in Him,\nFrancesois

I've heard of it, it's in India.Not only the future, but also the significant things in the past. Forgot where though. You will have to ask your Indian contacts.  Apparently the que is so long you can't imagine it.  They even reveal when you will pass away.
