Every couple I know has side-by-side grave plots, but when we do it we're the biggest weirdos on the block.

I can't believe that we would lie in our graves wondering if we had spent our living days well. I can't believe that we would lie in our graves dreaming of things that we might have been.

Funerals are a pagan rite. There's not any doubt about it.

Sometimes it feels as if everything in life is just something we haul into the grave.

I think we're all pretty odd.

Death borders upon our birth, and our cradle stands in the grave.

All strange and terrible events are welcome, but comforts we despise.

Tradition demands that we not speak poorly of the dead.

I think dead humans rising from their graves with little to no sense of who they were in their past lives to mindlessly roam the earth consigning others to the same fate would be a bit depressing.

Whether it is the old lady's fear, or the many ghostly traditions of this place, or the crucifix itself, I do not know, but I am not feeling nearly as easy in my mind as usual.
