the ones we have in Cardiff are always in the news for some misdemeanour or another - most recently for enslaving a man for years - making him live in an unheated shed with no pay - a man is now serving four years in prison for that offence |

The Travellers, as they are known in Ireland & sometimes called by the derogatory term - ‘Tinkers‘, are a minority community who have existed on the margins of Irish society for many generations. Legend has it that their ancestors were thrown off their land by merciless landlords. |

There's the world of difference between genuine gypsies and Irish travellers and also a lot of difference in their traditions. |

Years ago when I lived in Tunbridge Wells, Kent there were gypsies that lived in a lay-by. After one of them died the others set fire to his caravan and the remains just stayed there on the lay-by for years. |

Ultimately, what gives a Christian funeral its definitive substance is the Easter event, the faith in another life that helps us to conduct our loved ones over the last great threshold of their earthly lives with meaning & dignity. And it is too what makes our funerals real. Grief, loss, desolation, the whole works. |
