  6. 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.

  10. 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."

  15. Kerameikos Cemetery
    Al Purdy

    So 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 home

    All 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

  18. Half Shadow, Half Hymn

    I belong to the night— to the corridors where ghosts grow honest, where they shed the polite lie of absence and breathe again through memory’s ribs. Where ancestors press their mouths to my ear, whispering in bone-language, where the veil hangs in tatters— not a barrier, but a dare. Love lives here. Even after the burial. Even after the last goodbye forgets its own echo. I have felt the universe inhale— a slow, cosmic breath beneath the skin of thought, binary bones […]

  19. Ashes to ashes, corpse to #compost: #GreenWoodCemetery to offer ‘human composting’ starting in 2027

    By Kirstyn Brendlen

    "In pursuit of a more eco-friendly future, Green-Wood #Cemetery is going back to basics.

    "Starting next year, the storied cemetery will offer a new burial option: 'natural organic reduction,' also known as human composting.

    "The process is fairly similar to run-of-the-mill composting. Bodies are sealed in specialized 'pods' on a bed of hay, straw and alfalfa. The pods — designed to regulate moisture and airflow — rock gently back and forth to help speed decomposition.

    "After just 40 days, the contents of the pod break down into roughly 160 pounds of nutrient-dense soil, which will be used to support Green-Wood’s many plants and trees. "

  21. Valentine’s Day 2025 🖤🖤🖤

    “I saw your dark heart and immediately fall in love!” Sir James to Lady D’Arcy.

    Pause inspired by Dracula and Mila in Francis F. Coppola movie. Cemetery based on a photo found on Mastodon… but Apple Photo loses the url 🙈

  22. 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
