The situation - Crisis in our public cemeteries: Public cemeteries are no longer able to effectively play any of their roles for the benefit of mankind or to the glory of God. They are typically characterised by overcrowding and too often, neglect. For profit organisations make valiant attempts to fill the vacuum but their “for profit” nature brings about several limitations, they are often too expensive for majority of the populace not to mention too few and far between. Where the public systems have failed, the Church with the government resting on its shoulders must lead the way.
