    I think the council probably looked at it from this point of view, which religion is more likely to cut your head off if you offend them?

        Are you sure I know that suicides cannot be buried in consecrated ground under the catholic religion but that does seem somewhat unlikely

          Raised as a Catholic Z and first time I ever realised that. Suppose I was never old enough then to think much about being buried.

            Don't you mean ground consecrated by the CofE? Surely the catholic churches can consecrate the ground around thier churches themselves and then bury people as they see fit.

              "consecrated ground"? Would that be ground consecrated according to the rites of the Church of England?
