Dying prohibited in Riviera town

PARIS (AP) - Renowned for its breathtaking scenery, pine trees, rocky
coastline and a clear blue Mediterranean Sea, the Riviera town of Le
Lavandou is drawing headlines for a new local law that makes dying a
grave offense. The town's only cemetery is full, and the project for
a new one near the coast was rejected earlier this month by a
regional court, which ruled that the plan violated a law on sea shore
constructions. Facing the lack of cemetery space, Le Lavandou, 25
miles east of Toulon, on Tuesday passed a law: "It is forbidden
without a cemetery plot to die on the territory of the commune."
Currently, 19 people are awaiting a final resting place. See
