The whole concept of cemeteries is strange - burial grounds with rocks that commemorate dead people. I understand it and I know that cemeteries are necessary and it seems normal, crossing many cultures. Marked graves are a way to make something permanent, to show that a life meant something. The burial ceremony lets us grieve. Stone lasts forever. Kind of. It’s a way of making sense of something awful, of dealing with our own mortality. Graves are for the living.
