Cypress Hills Cemetery

In the burial site at Marosszentanna, the bodies were laid out in perpendicular directions, approximately along a north-south axis, except for twelve graves that were aligned east-west. These graves contained no grave goods nor eating or drinking vessels. The hands of at least two of the corpses were also clasped in a Christian manner and have been dated as the most recent graves (Köpeczi et al.). This indicates the transition from non-Christian to Christian and the acceptance of such a…

showed a lack of thought and sympathy towards these children. However, what was most astounding was that from all the written records they found, there was never a mention of a cemetery. Essentially, life moved on and everything unmarked was just left there with no one to hold these people accountable. The unmarked cemetery found on Pinkie Road was unknown to many aboriginal people. In a sense it provided solace to the parents who never saw their children return home and were given no…

In Sophocles Antigone, the reader is forced to ask her/himself a few different questions that would help to answer some of the problems in the story. These questions the reader would ask are who is responsible for what happens in the end of the story of Antigone? The next question is, could any tragedy in the story be avoided if any characters would have acted differently? Lastly do any of the characters share similar characteristics? These questions would help the reader determine who was right…

The American Romantic Hero is a literary archetype referring to a character that rejects established norms and conventions, and has been rejected by society.

I have this awful fear of being burried alive. Coffins to me could be a symbol of beiing burried alive. I don't see them as for the already dead. I have a hard time discribing the fear of being alive when someone puts you in the ground. When I see myself in that situation I see a coffin, you can scream but noone can hear you. The air start to disipate and you slowly start to sufficate and get cabonminoxide poisoning. Not a good way to die. The coffin is always there so I desided for this…

For my brother’s thirteenth birthday we went to Tombstone Arizona. We lived in Arizona at the time and we had always wanted to go to Tombstone after we watched the Tombstone movie. When my mom told us we were going to be able to go, we got so excited we didn’t care about the long drive. When we got there, we had no idea what we wanted to do. There was so much we could do and we wanted to do it all. The first thing we did when we got there was go to all the souvenir stores and buy a bunch…

the official religion and cremation was banned. In more modern times, many argued that cremation was favorable because reducing the body to ash in a few hour was more sanitary than decomposition and it is an answer to the problem of overcrowded cemeteries. The correct way to…

far from the madding crowd. Santa Cruz (sacred or holy cross) Cemetery offers an intriguing window into Gold Country’s legendary past and a pastoral foothill landscape reminiscent of early California before the world rushed in. At the entrance an interesting stone monument placed by E Clampus Vitus reveals a brief history of the place, seemingly in the middle of nowhere. It is immensely peaceful, and the softly rolling lowland hills are so easy on the eye. Located near the Mariposa/Merced…

What was it like to be depressed and all alone at the boundary waters? For Shiloh it would be one of the last days for her. Cork and William are in trouble while trying to find his disappearing daughter, Shiloh. They have trouble finding her but they find her in a hidden cabin all alone. Shiloh is either in trouble or she has committed suicide while she was at her cabin. I am predicting that Shiloh, William Raye’s daughter commit suicide while she was in the wilderness of the boundary waters. I…

Although the burial or cremation of bodies have been around for thousands of years (Mark n.pag.), there are better alternatives to honor our dead. For example, freeze drying or promession, provides great benefits to our ecosystem and is an inexpensive alternative to burial or cremation. Freeze drying is defined as a form of body disposal in which the bodies are frozen in liquid nitrogen making them brittle and then vibrated for several hours to turn them into a fine powder. Therefore, people…
