When a Bill of Rights Was Debated

 Those who said it was not needed talked about the risk that we might leave on out and that absence would later be found to be evidence that no such right existed.  One of these clever sorts asked if there was a need for a right to bury our dead?  Before you laugh, England for a couple centuries required that you be buried in wool.  So this 9/13/25 Telegraph article is no surprise:

Labour is plotting to make UK crematoria greener by banning gas cremation ovens and forcing grieving families to choose eco-friendly wicker or bamboo coffins.
New rules for crematoria, drawn up by the UK environment department, are set to be upgraded to meet both new pollution standards and the UK’s commitment to reach the target of net zero by 2050 championed by Energy Secretary, Ed Miliband.
Under the plan, the Government will seek to cut emissions of greenhouse gases and other pollutants, including mercury from dental fillings, and airborne toxins from burning coffin glue and embalming fluid.
