Buying house near cemetery?

Its the living you need to worry about. The dead won't cause any trouble

Advantages - no extra development on the cemetery itself.

Disadvantages - none.

I don't understand why anyone would have any issues living near a cemetery. There are hundreds, if not thousands in the country.

Ridiculous question imo.

I know someone who built looking over a cemetery, house is front facing the ocean but the cemetery can be clearly seen from side/back of the house . Didn't bother him .

I wouldn't say that's always the case. If you have an old cemetery that hasn't been used in a century, it might be rezoned for development if you're unlucky.

Not the case here though. The cemetery even has a new wing for fresh graves. Safe to say it's going nowhere in any of our grandchildrens' lifetimes.

Benefit of a graveyard is that you've got a nice, quiet, self-contained place to go for a walk or a run that's not far from home. Zig-zag up and down the rows and you'll cover a lot of ground.

Quiet neighbours - what's the problem?

future friends I think you mean

Yeah you're all brave now behind your keyboards, but when the zombie apocalypse starts you'll be laughing out of the other side of your faces.

And if you think it will never happen all i'll say is it has started.

Pandemic, zombie minks in Holland. Who would have thought any of that would happen a few years ago. hey? who? hey? I thought so.

Complete and utter rubbish.

Google anything whatsoever and you will have doom merchants.

If you that concerned, buy elsewhere as there are plenty that will buy the house you are looking at .

Frankly, this is the first time I have heard anyone query being near a cemetery - and I'm no spring chicken.

I'd happily live in this house...........

You obviously haven't had to put up with midnight renditions of the Monster Mash.

Sometimes people go in there at night to bury a stiff...

A friend of mine bought overlooking a cemetery. He heard his toddler numerours times having conversations on the baby monitor when the child was in his room alone. Asked the child who he was talking to and he said the little boy outside . The window in the room looked directly into the graveyard.

Or Thriller.

A cemetery wouldn't bother me at all. I have a loved one who's buried in a cemetery near me and there's a nice vibe to the place - in as much as you can say a cemetery has a nice vibe. There are always people coming and going, either to visit graves or to maintain the place.

There are two things that'd put me off, and they might not apply to where you're looking. The first is that some cemeteries attract an anti-social element. Do the living go drinking/drugging/burying some stiffs in this cemetery? The other is traffic, though again it all depends on the layout of the area. If you can, visit the area in the evening when the weather's not too **** and see do the hooded tracksuit wearers go there? The other is to take a look at RIP.ie and check when the next burial in this cemetery takes place. Watch out for where the cars get parked and if there's a possibility that you could be impacted by it.
