A South East community has called for toilets to be installed at the town's only cemetery after mortified mourners were forced to "go behind the bushes".
Port MacDonnell Cemetery is around 3km from the nearest public toilet leaving visitors with two options - drive into town and miss the service, or public urination.
With more funerals than normal held this year, Port MacDonnell Uniting Church secretary Betty Walters wrote to Grant District Council requesting new facilities.
