Spent yesterday at Boroondara Cemetery in Kew, Victoria. One of the nicest garden cemeteries I've come across in Australia. The volunteers there do an enormous job keeping it all from being swallowed up by the greenery.

I'm putting this out for any Jews who feel like they don't want to criticize another denomination.
This is bullshit. There is no religious reason to bar suicides from our cemeteries. Not facilitating funerals is your choice, of course, but it's cruel to the living. What's next? Shrimp and tattoos? Meh.
"A landmark letter on #MAID, approved recently by #Toronto’s main #Orthodox #rabbinical council—also called the #VaadHaRabbanim—is sounding the alarm about what the group notes is the increasing prevalence of medically assisted death making “inroads” into the local #Jewish community. Citing the figure of 5,000 patients in #Ontario in 2023 who the council describes as being “#euthanized by medical practitioners”, the leading rabbis said they need to take steps to “curb this disturbing trend”: going forward, they will not officiate at the #funerals of MAID patients and will refuse to permit MAID patients to be buried in plots in their #synagogues’ #cemetery sections."

Kerameikos Cemetery
Al PurdySo old that only traces of death remain
for death is broken with the broken stones
as if convivial party-goers came
and talked so long to friends they stayed
to hear the night birds call their children homeAll over Athens rooster voices wake
the past converses with itself and time
is like a plough that turns up yesterday
I move and all around —: the marketplace
where something tugs my sleeves as I go by -

RE: https://klezmor.im/@carkner/116981405991365406
a good notification from FindAGrave, someone took a photo of the grave of Louis Grupp's father (mentioned in the thread below), Abraham Samuel Grupp (1860–1932), a #flautist born in Chudniv & a small-time #klezmer musician in New York City around the time of WWI.

❓#QuestionOfTheWeek Have you ever photographed headstones at a cemetery? 🪦
Tell us about your experience. Was it a single ancestor you'd been searching for, or a systematic sweep of an entire cemetery? Did you run into unreadable stones, and how did you handle them? Any surprises — a name you didn't expect on a family plot, or a burial that contradicted what the paper trail said?
https://youtube.com/shorts/D74HEsZt8ZE
And if this is an activity you enjoy, consider volunteering with our Cemeterist Project, which coordinates the photographing and documenting of cemeteries and connects those images to profiles: http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Project:Cemeterist

back to the PMBS grave photos and seeing which ones I missed. These Marks are all related though I still haven't sorted out everything. Rochel Leah (1862–1944) is the mother, Simon (1890–1969) and Samuel (1884–1941) were the sons & both drummers, Joseph (1860–1937) possibly their half-brother.🤔the father Morris/Moshe I haven't come across is any US docs yet, possible he never came to America. original family name was apparently Markowitz.

It Worked! (t)
Suzie and Lyle downloaded a bunch of free witch spells from the internet. They had tried about six of them with minimal success. The seventh spell, Heads Off, was a different story, which, unfortunately, neither Suzie nor Lyle will be able to tell.

Trolling (t) (B/W)
Roberto really got a kick out of the myth that vampires can't handle daylight. Add to that all the wannabe vampires, well, it sure made for some good feeding during the day and left his nights free for bingo.
The above is a fictitious story. Vampires really don't play bingo.

Dead Drop (t)
It was a little windy the day I shot this in The Burying Point cemetery. I kept waiting for headstones to start flying, but, I had to settle on a few leaves flittering down to lie with the dead.

Visiting in 2004 long passed family members in the cemetery at Estelle Nebraska. My Uncle Alvin located the grave site and had a new marker installed. #Christensen #cemetery #Estelle #Hayes #Nebraska
