I love my deceased family members dearly, but as we move away from traditional Sunday church worship and cemetery visitation, we celebrate our ancestors in the oral and digital tradition. We don’t need to litter an excessive granite stone with some plastic flower bouquet that blows away and becomes litter. We have to do better for the environment.
That's so true, hybridy. I hadn't thought of this before. Hey, let's create some catacombs too!
