ummm,yellowy...

Let us not forget the syndrome of ages past wherein people APPEARED to be dead, but were not. Some WERE buried alive,but precuations were taken,such as holding a Wake (delay burial incase person revives)or running a string down into the casket with a bell at the other end above ground,with an attendant camping-out standing by (graveyard shift)
In Greenmount (Phila.),there is a spot I dubbed "The Hillside of Death" because of the large number of interments there in the summer of 1998,even with concrete bunkers and enbalming,you could still trace the stench.Could be why people used to get bombed at funerals in the old days.

And I agree: nice poem.

That be old cloth.

My oldest brother (well,actually,both brothers)and I both like cemeteries.IT's like the time we were standing in Greenmount (my favorite;I want to be intered there;better start preparing) and I made the obvious remark "Why do people go to these great lengths?" His reply : " Well, no one WANTS to be forgotten"
Just a thought.......................................

That's useful.

I wonder what these people considered regarding thier remains here.Did they consider it would always be regal and off-limits?Or if enough time past,such as it has,and it fell into obscurity and disrepair,such as it has,would a small smile come to the corner of thier mouth regarding people such as us ,regarding what they left behind,so, as all is not lost.

Great stuff

Grossingly intriquing.

Glad you pointed that out; I thought this shot was "down-there"

Hey1 now thats' something.

Wonderful

What an opurtunity to get something like this.

It's like it was meant to rest.


I believe there is a Federal law in all or most of the 50 states that require a casket to be inserted into a cement bunker , then have a cement lid sealed into place with tar.
This law appeared in I guess the 1970's, and it IS NOT retroactive.
In this case (Crypt of Barons)we're dealing with an entirly different animal altogether.

Now that's what i'm talking about!
Prison-like.

La gente pueda a entender esa pagina bastante bien.

Kind of off-beat prison collection.

And so it ends.

All in all............

Now I'm happy. Blue skies and an Alanthus tree!

(not sure what that little "cap' structure is called so I backed-off naming it)
