Sad to say, my great grandfather committed suicide in 1928. I recently got a copy of the inquest papers from the Central Library. Very sobering reading, especially when the file contained his original suicide note. Sent a bit of a chill up my spine, I can tell you.
My question is this. Given that suicide was illegal and seen as a very bad thing, would his burial have to be in non-consecrated ground?
Where might my GGF (who lived on Frankfort Street, not far from Summer Lane) be buried if that is the case and assuming he was buried reasonably close to home?
