I think for some, burial places are what they prefer, and I did enjoy the variety of architecture in Pere Lachaise Cemetery in Paris - beautiful mausoleums, sculptures, carving and stained glass as well as places to sit and ponder. We left just before dusk, just in case. . .D.G.

I can't see being put in a mausoleum. All the movies I watch have people breaking into mausoleums to have sex or steal things, and they always end up dead.

My favorite thing was dusting and sweeping the nice, cool, quiet mausoleum while my brothers noisily mowed grass in the sweltering summer heat. That's an awesome photo. I hope you publish your WIP.

I prefer to honor the time together, and then release. Hurts, yes - loss always does - but life is to be lived in the present and the future, I think.
