So when we go to visit their graves we have to remember where they are buried based on surrounding headstones.<br /><br />Also, I just wrote a short story with a cemetery as the setting. Do they ever dig graves at night? I hope so, as that was what I wrote.Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04505675063769786300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3210281995872643029.post-81445532675142973872009-10-09T13:29:04.931-04:002009-10-09T13:29:04.931-04:00With your reference to cremation, the headstones a...With your reference to cremation, the headstones are replaced (at least at Waverley Cemetery in Sydney)with small blocks, perhaps 4inches by 2, with the departed's name, etc. It is an odd thing, looking for a loved one's "block", nestled as it is, along with many others, around a rose garden, or a perennial bed.<br /><br />The simplicity of it appeals to me. Those regular headstones start to get a bit sad with age, and eery in the various angles they assume.Fran Caldwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13545648992948168762noreply@blogger.com
