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 -

Spotted this headstone at the old cemetery in Reykjavik last year. Love how the moss has become a decorative element on it.
There's an information board at the cemetery stating that they have some rare moss species growing there. I wish I could tell which ones.

After my film, I cut through the old boneyard of Saint Cuthbert's to have a look & take pics at the festive fair & market in the nearby Princes Street Gardens.
I lasted twenty minutes before it annoyed the smeg out of me. Too loud, far too busy. I think I preferred the old bone orchard! Tombs with a Castle view!

The first time I ever got to go trick or treating was when I was 21 years old. My roommate Viki went as a vampire and I went as her victim in a long white nightgown and a bloody neck. The only place we went to, the woman said, "Aren't you too old for this?" It crushed all my joy. I didn't get to go as a kid because I grew up in a Jehovah's Witness family.
In downtown Fredericton there's an old cemetery that everyone uses as a shortcut. That Halloween night, the gates were open, so Viki and I walked in. We passed a watchman who said hi. But when we got to the other side, the gate was locked.
We turned around to exit the way we came in, only to find that gate was locked, too. The watchman had shut us in!
We wandered around looking for a way out, and then city workers saw us and started yelling at us for breaking into the cemetery. We explained what had happened and asked for them to let us out. They didn't have keys. So they pulled their truck up to the cast iron fence and helped pull us over the fence.
Who else gets locked into an old cemetery on their first Hallowe'en? My nightgown got ripped, but it was totally worth it. It brought back all the joy that had been sucked away by the mean woman telling me I was too old for trick or treating.
FWIW, the last time I went trick or treating was when I was in my forties. If mummering were a thing here, I'd do that, too.

#WordyWednesday: Ossilegium ☠️
A noun meaning the act of collecting bones for placement in an ossuary after the rest of the body has decomposed. FYI, an ossuary is a building or structure to house bones or cremated remains. (I’ll do one of these on ossuaries later!)
The collected bones may be stored in individual boxes, small niches, or arranged into magnificent displays with many other skeletons.
Many cultures performed this as a means of conserving burial space. Ancient Greeks even collected bones from funeral pyres and washed them with wine and oil before placing them in urns.
Pronounced oss-ih-LEE-gee-um.
Not to be confused with the metal band by the same name 🤘🏻

#WordyWednesday: Catacombs
Another “cat” derived post? Don’t mind if I do!
Catacombs are underground galleries that house dead bodies in caskets, shrouds, urns, or fully exposed as bones.
They're excavated into areas with tombs, niches, chambers, and passageways. Spaces for bodies in the wall (loculi) may be sealed with tiles, plaster, brick and mortar, or marble slabs.
One of the most famous examples is the Paris Catacombs (although technically it's an ossuary since it's used for bones), which is home to over 6 million people's remains.

For #TombTuesdays. In #Aoyama #Cemetery in #Tokyo there is a section where foreigners are buried. In it, this tombstone, Annie Mary Baty, 1872-1945. I did some research; Annie, her sibling Thomas, and their mother are all buried in Aoyama. They were all born in the UK but followed to Japan when Thomas went to work as an adviser to the Japanese government in 1916, through WWII and after; their citizenship was revoked, and so they are buried here. 1/2
