Wales is running out of space to bury its dead and needs a co-ordinated policy to tackle the issue seriously.
That’s one of the stark facts the Church in Wales is highlighting in a series of briefing notes about its work to candidates standing for the Welsh Assembly election.

This could be a tremendous problem in the future as Muslims do not cremate.
