I know a couple who a few years ago purchased a house in a (very) rural part of the south west. Tiny little country lane to their home, no neighbours for at least a mile in any direction, not even any light pollution.

After they had been there a couple of years a private company applied for planning permission to build a crematorium about 200 yards away. Despite their nimby behaviour – writing to the council etc. to lobby against the planning, permission was granted. The crem’ was built and opened. They reckoned that the value of their house declined by about £200,000 if anyone would ever want to buy it and live that close to a body oven.

The only revenge that could be thought of? That the funeral instructions in husband’s will stated that he wanted to be cremated there when he died. With a stick of dynamite shoved up his arse.

Try to look on the bright side.
The new neighbours are always quiet at night and the gardens are well kept.

And think of the money you could save on the heating bills
They *did* make it a combined heat and power plant, didn't they?
