      Pretty sure she doesn’t mean it will be too loud for a dead body, she means the grave may be affected by construction (moved, driven over etc).

        Honestly the state of NIMBYism these days genuinely wouldn’t allow my brain jump to that conclusion

      One of my favourite names is a news reporter for one of the UK TV news stations. Debbie Tubby. Sounds like a character from a Millennial-era children’s show, a Teletubby

        One of my favourite news name incidents was during the fuel shortages a few years back. BBC (or maybe Sky) News sent a reporter called Phil McCann to report from outside a petrol station

    If the construction would be rejected for impacting native burial grounds under the same circumstances then it isn’t a silly objection.

    Burial grounds are culturally important.

      That would be justified when the construction goes right through or on top of a burial ground or graveyard or some such. Not near it, that’s downright stupid.

        Yes Im certain people would agree after being interrupted mid funeral and having to wait for a noisy train to pass.

          How would a train disrupt a funeral, guests won’t be able to hear something important or what?

            Yes, this was so obvious even a child could grasp the concept.
