This was originally intended as an anecdotal genealogy website dedicated to putting a personality on those that have passed before, specifically those that I have heard stories about or even knew personally. But it has gradually changed to cemetery statuary, and as it was at first, featuring celebreties. For my personal links go to the end of the blog, Spencer G Corkum

do not bury me

There are many people who do not want their bodies buried under the ground. There are very elaborate mausoleums but there are also small mausoleums as small as a single casket, that sits above the ground. Today in a matter of weeks turnaround, there are available headstones with color etched photographs. They are experimenting with photo cell powered videos with audio that turn on automatically when someone approaches. What a setting this would make in those countries where picnicking with the family is common at the graves of the family ancestors.
