cemeteries i have known and loved: 2010

Sunday, October 24, 2010

taking peeps to one of my favorite local (presently) cemeteries- acacia memorial park -
this time with people my daughter, my mum and our long time family friend Mary who was visiting from back east (bflo.) this is the first cemetery where we encountered a curious cabinet of varied storage facility for ashes.
People have their ashes behind glass bookshelves- in urns, metal books, ceramic kitchen jars, a wide array of vessels.

lakeview mausoleum Acacia Memorial Park & Funeral Home

so when one spreads one's obsessions to a wide expanse (say where once was limited to a handful has now spread to a multitude and
counting) are they still obsessions or is it an over excitement for life? and at last a more easier ability to find some niche wherever you might be to apply that days obsession.
this weekend it was cemeteries mostly (of course melded with love of exploration and photographic meanderings.)
so we went back to this cemetery the next day , as well as two others.
needed to see the lakeview mausoleum, which we did.
there were weird sounds, like chattering voices- tim and i went in separately but both heard the talking. there was so much sound from the japense garden and the acoustics were weird and well, who knows.
