Would You Buy Something That came From A Cemetery?

[NYboy]

I have been looking for a antique wrought iron fence for my front yard. 19 century wrought iron fences are very very expensive. I couldn't believe my luck when I saw a cl ad for 9 panels of fence for $275. I rented a truck and got a friend to help pick it up. It was love at first sight,all along the top where gothic arches!! I asked where the fence came from, and was told a old cemetery that was being moved. My friend couldn't believe i still bought it after learning where it came from. Would that stop you from buying a piece you love?

Did they use it to prop up the bodies?

No?

Then, no, I wouldn't let the fact it came from a cemetary deter me.

Nope. Sounds like a good deal for all involved. It's not like the residents will come back for it.

That makes the fence even better! It has history!!! I don't believe in ghosts/spirits/gods but do like to talk about them in jest, so if I wanted a fence like that and could get one, that would be TOTALLY AWESOME for stories!!!

Nope, I love the metal fences and they are beautiful! And another bonus, you are recycling them to beautify your yard!

Unless they were spearing peoples heads on it ..then why wouldnt you want the fence? I bet its cool looking..

*thats a hint for a pic, in case you missed it..*

Metal does not absorb bad spirits well, you are safe.

And, seriously I would get it. If not bought and used for it's purpose will be recycled and come out of the recycling bin as molten metal to be made into something else. I love the history of it!

What's the big deal about that? Wrought iron is wrought iron, no matter where it's been. In fact, that adds a bit of history to the piece.

That makes it an even better recycling/re-using story! Wouldn't bother me at all.
