More links to the O'Hare vs. cemetery case
Rather than link to each story individually, here is the Google news link with a host of those stories. Here is a report on the case by The Beckett Fund for Religious Liberty. Here's an article from graveyards.com I've also included a photo here from that graveyards.com site:

Where do we go when we die? This blog explores the places where cemeteries and land use intersect, and examines what urban planners and thinkers, communities and others are doing (and not doing) about cemeteries.
You can find a companion site at Facebook, and I'm tweeting about these subjects at Twitter, at @TaphoFiles.
