It was a positive thing for me to watch as people being interviewed
commented several times that the people are not really gone, their bodies
are just resting there - as I lost one of best friends on Monday.........
all in all it was a very good program and I hope it relays the inspiration
that all cemeteries need to be maintained.

I thought it was an interesting program, and promoted cemeteries in
a
positive way. I learned a few things, like the use of the word
"cemetery". I have seen old deeds and references that called them
"grave yards" and "family burying grounds", but did not know that
the
word "cemetery" did not come into use till 1831 when Mount Auburn
Cemetery in Cambridge Massachusetts was founded as America's first
landscaped or garden cemetery.
