Cemetery

A cemetery is a burial ground, a graveyard, a sacred place, a grieving place, and for some, a place of communication and healing. A graveyard is a sacred area set apart to hold graves, tombs, or funeral urns, usually located on a church’s property or in a large public park (Swensen, Nordh, & Brendalsmo, 2016). Although some people are buried above ground, in most cultures around the world, bodies are buried underground (Kearnes & Rickards, 2017). A cemetery is the last part of the death system that

wind blew bitterly, chilling me to my bones. Overhead, dark clouds blotted out the moon from time to time, casting the centuries old cemetery into an inky blackness, yet further a field, I could see the storm gathering.

Grayish white head stones dotted the landscape before me. Everywhere I turned, a silence prevailed

Cemeteries intrigue me, and Oakland is no exception to this interest. After years of constant bypassing the cemetery in route to school, I first decided to visit around September of my junior year, and explored the entire cemetery for the next two days. I was immediately infatuated, and have returned 5 more times since then. Throughout my tour I was able to view the beautiful statues, weathered graves, and memorial that held a surplus of information about the social statuses of these individuals

The life of a cemetery caretaker's son is as about as glorious as you would think it would be. There is never a shortage of corpses when you live in a small village between two waring countries. I live in the village of Ravenholdt. To the east is the Kingdom of Fairwind and to the west the kingdom of Windholm. These two have been at war for far longer than I have even been alive. Our village has been neutral in their fight and usually ends up being a battlefield. Their battles keep my father and

Dallas's rich history contains a variety of cemeteries that tell us how burial

venture into cemetery birding within the CBC circle. All Saints Cemetery is located in Northfield, Ohio off of W. Highland Road and consists of 271 rolling acres, with two small lakes. While birding cemeteries may be bit creepy to some, they can be an ideal habitat for birds and birders alike. Most cemeteries are relatively large, providing good acreage for birds, with plenty of mature trees for shelter and foraging. We elected to run a short car route around the perimeter of the cemetery to get a

The cemetery I chose to visit and explore was the Woodlawn Cemetery in the Bronx. On the way to the cemetery I couldn’t help but feel anxious. When I began to drive past the cemetery to its entrance, all I could see were miles and miles of headstones. It was eerie to say the least. As a kid, whenever my family would drive by a cemetery, my siblings and I would hold our breath until we passed so as to not breathe in the wandering, lost souls. Actually going into a cemetery to look around seemed counterintuitive
