So I know I've mentioned before on here that I live across the street from a cemetery, but those bare words don't do it justice. In the same way that Californians naively refer to 60-year-old buildings as 'old', most of use are used to nice neat cemeteries in nice neat rows; plots marked with plaques or short headstones following a common style guide: anonymity in all but the literal sense.
That's why places like the Black Diamond Mine cemetery, a true 'grave yard' is so nifty; the placement of the plots, and the headstones themselves tell far more about the character of a person, (or the people they left behind), than a bronze plaque could convey. Come to think of it, I want my URL on my headstone.
If you like it, please share it.
