A quotation from Joseph Addison
Upon my going into the church, I entertained myself with the digging of a grave; and saw in every shovelful of it that was thrown up, the fragment of a bone or skull intermixt with a kind of fresh mouldering earth, that some time or other had a place in the composition of a human body. Upon this, I began to consider with myself what innumerable multitudes of people lay confused together under the pavement of that ancient cathedral; how men and women, friends and enemies, priests and soldiers, monks and prebendaries, were crumbled amongst one another, and blended together in the same common mass; how beauty, strength, and youth, with old age, weakness and deformity, lay undistinguished in the same promiscuous heap of matter.
Joseph Addison (1672-1719) English essayist, poet, statesman
Essay (1711-03-30), “Thoughts in Westminster Abbey,” The Spectator, No. 26More info about this quote: wist.info/addison-joseph/80244…

A quotation from Joseph Addison
I yesterday passed a whole afternoon in the churchyard, the cloisters, and the church, amusing myself with the tombstones and inscriptions that I met with in those several regions of the dead. Most of them recorded nothing else of the buried person, but that he was born upon one day, and died upon another: the whole history of his life being comprehended in those two circumstances, that are common to all mankind. I could not but look upon these registers of existence, whether of brass or marble, as a kind of satire upon the departed persons; who had left no other memorial of them, but that they were born and that they died. They put me in mind of several persons mentioned in the battles of heroic poems, who have sounding names given them, for no other reason but that they may be killed, and are celebrated for nothing but being knocked on the head.

#FuneralFactFriday: Defrosting graves is a real thing ❄️
As a resident of Southern California, severe winter weather means bundling up when the temperature dips below 65°F. It's recently come to my attention that there are parts of the country that have to literally defrost graves before digging. 🤯
It's not the snow that matters so much as the frost. When the ground itself is frozen, it can add hours or days of backbreaking physical labor to the gravedigging process. It's dangerous for employees (injuries, frostbite, hypothermia, and heart attacks), equipment can break, and sometimes it's just too stormy to even try.
In some places, winter burials are simply postponed until the ground thaws. Bodies are temporarily kept either in refrigeration or mausoleum holding vaults. Unfortunately, it means a delay of closure for the family and forces them to relive their loss again at a later date.
The good news is that technological advancements are making it slightly easier to thaw and dig into frozen graves. We can use jackhammers. There are also special tool attachments for the backhoe, called "frost teeth." We can warm and thaw the ground using propane powered burners or industrial electric blankets.
If none of that works for you, do what I do and live in an area where this situation never even crosses your mind!

CW: Cemetery Vandalism and Antisemitism
#FuneralFactFriday: Cemetery vandalism is unfortunately still a “thing”
Based on a casual study done by Oak and Laurel Cemetery Preservation, there were 184 news reports in 2016 alone describing the destruction of 1,811+ grave markers (costing at least $488,000). The study was based on relevant news stories (as there is no formal database collecting official crime statistics on cemetery vandalism), so the actual numbers are presumed to be much higher.
In 2017, the numbers reflected 105 reported incidents, but with 2,353 gravestones affected, totaling an estimated $1,766,000 in damages.
Cemeteries are vandalism targets for several reasons. Some instances are petty crimes committed by idiotic adolescents either joyriding or expressing their teenage angst, and some are adults stealing metal markers to sell as scrap.
Other instances are racially or politically motivated. Anti-semites still desecrate Jewish graves by toppling headstones and spray painting swastikas to this day.
"Attacking a cemetery, especially one that is all-Jewish, all-Catholic, or whatever it is, is basically an attack on the culture, the identity of the people that cemetery represents."
- Aaron Breitbart, researcher at the Simon Wiesenthal CenterJews have a long history of being targets for desecration, with vandalization of their stores and synagogues in addition to their cemeteries. The acts of prejudice and intimidation predated the events of World War II. This is a longstanding issue, and sadly still present in our society today.
