cemeteries  

Definition(s)

  • It was Elias Leavenworth who, in 1859, identified the cemetery as “the last great necessity” for his community, and for most of history it has been seen as such. However, globalization and the growth of new immigrant and ethnic communities from cultures and religions with divergent views about death and the dead are similarly manifested in divergent burial practices.
