Agra Christians to go for ‘one family, one grave’ practice

In a new initiative, the Agra Joint Cemeteries Committee (AJCC) has decided that henceforth one family will be buried in one grave. This decision has been taken in view of the shortage of land for cemeteries at a recent meeting of the AJCC. AJCC Chairman Father Moon Lazurus said that those who attend church services will be informed of the decision soon. The committee takes care of “Goronka  Kabristan” and the “TotakaTaal” graveyard meant for Christians. “We have decided that the graves will now be dug deeper and after the dead body is buried, a slab will be placed on which another body from the same family can be buried.
