THE CEMETERIAN
He dedicates his life to his profession,and his profession is to serve
mankind.He seeks to chronicle the endeavors of generations,to record their
origins and commemorate the purposeful completion of their lives.He is a
person like yourself with the same attendant fears and expectation,and
perhaps like you,he is saluted by some,misunderstood by others and shunned
by acertain few.He has a form,a heart and a mind,and he will combine these
gifts with energy and pride in the calling he believes in.
P.S. I believe that I am a CEMETERIAN!

THIS IS A CEMETERY -----
"Lives are commemorated - deaths are recorded - families
are reunited - memories are made tangible - and love is
undisguised. This is a cemetery.
"Communities accord respect, families bestow reverence,
historians seek information and our heritage is thereby enriched.
"Testimonies of devotion, pride and remembrance are carved
in stone to pay warm tribute to accomplishments and to the life -
not the death - of a loved one. The cemetery is homeland for family
memorials that are a sustaining source of comfort to the living.
"A cemetery is a history of people - a perpetual record of
yesterday and sanctuary of peace and quiet today. A cemetery
exists because every life is worth loving and remembering - always."
