of course it's a GREAT cemetery, Mt. Auburn, the first in the US designed so people WOULD visit and linger and contemplate; it is an arboretum as well as a graveyard; it is beautiful and ample; it celebrates great events in US history like the late-1830s Voyage of Discovery and the American Civil War; entry is free; the map costs $1; I gave John a rock cooked poorly 50 million years ago (we have a volcano on our land) and he gave me chocolate; there are still plenty of spaces available in Mt. Auburn, BTW, for interment and cremation
early notes: You go to a cemetery to learn about life. And you learn YOUR legacy is NOT about this: gravestones of strangers few recall. I watched a red-tailed hawk stalk lunch. And give up.
