Actually its more a question of location.  The customs of Great Briton are
different than the 
customs in the U.S.  Customs in different areas of the U.S. can differ a
great deal even.  Where I 
come from it is a sign of disrespect to the deceased and their survivors
to walk on a grave.

I think you are arguing oranges and apples and will never agree.  I also
believe that this equine 
has been thoroughly flogged to the point of expiration. <g>
