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!

Hi Sue and everyone,
As long as we are defining terms, can we also look at the use of the
word "cemeterians"? It has been my understanding that a "cemeterian"
is
one
who works in the capacity of management of a cemetery. At least that
is
how
it is recognized within the industry. For instance, I am active in
doing
cemetery history research, tours, lectures, etc., and performing
preservation
activities, yet I do not consider myself a cemeterian. That term is
reserved
for those who make the decisions about how a cemetery is managed and
maintained. Your thoughts?
