That's for certain, Pierre!
The 19th century French novelist Honoré de Balzac used a very apt expression to comment on this aspect of cemeteries (referring to the Germans especially): allotment garden culture. Nothing has changed ever since.
Mt Auburn Cem' - Cambridge MA, USA (not too far out of Boston). Probably the most beautiful resting place I have ever seen. If there was a waiting list I would put my name down for a spot! Too many photos to post, so I have added my flickr link to the album below: Having searched here it looks like quite a few of you have been too.
Alexander Pope in his "Ode to Solitude":
Thus let me live, unseen, unknown;
Thus unlamented let me die;
Steal from the world, and not a stone
Tell where I lie.
The place where you lie has no (more) impact to you. It's relevant only to those you leave behind.
