Cemeteries are truly interesting places. Between the symbolism, the strange enigma of life and death as well as the atmosphere surrounding a cemetery makes one stop and think if nothing else. Seeing the different grave markers and the epitaphs makes one wonder what the person was like in life. It also makes me wonder how long their "mark" on life will remain.

I think trying to leave something that shows we were once here is part of the fascination with cemeteries. We know that through the inevitable process of entropy, permanence is something that will be fleeting at best. A tombstone is one way of extending an acknowledgement that we were here and that we did something.

Thanks for kickstarting my mind to think about an interesting topic!
