This is a beautiful cemetery. Indeed, I've noticed some abandoned benches in our cemeteries over here. Times are changing so quickly and life became too fast. It appears we don't have time for nothing. Spending some time with the loved ones who left this world seems a waste of time. So wrong and unfair.
I agree with you as well. I didn't want to put it in my post but nowadays people are buried and forgotten. Some graves are neglected and ruined beyond recognition. Of course this depends also on what relationship the buried one had with the livings but even so ... It hurts to see neglected graves. In this modern era it's easier to cremate people and throw the ashes out somewhere and arrivederci! Hasta la vista! Just put a big concrete cap on the grave so you don't have to plant flowers.
I see old people going to the cemetery and talk to the dead.
Ma gandeam sa fac un post despre cimitirul vesel. Ar fi o chestie foarte buna dar nu am poze, de fapt nu am fos acolo inca. Nu-mi place se postez poze de pe internet. Tu nu esti din zona? Sau nu ai poze cumva? :)
Forgetting the deceased ones is forgetting who we are and our traditions. It is very sad but you cannot stop this so called "progress". Plus, the cemeteries become over crowded and all the benches and big statues will soon be gone.
I've read an article few years ago about turning cemeteries into forests. The deceased would be transformed into some sort of fertilizer which will feed a tree planted where it's supposed to have the grave. Even if I love traditions and I respect different customs, this does not seem a bad idea. I wouldn't mind to be turned into a tree and my kids to give me a hug whenever they visit. 🙂
Nu sunt din zona Cimitirului Vesel si singurele poze pe care le am de acolo sunt pe hartie si foarte vechi. Mai intreb prieteni, poate gasesc ceva.
Turning cemeteries into forests seems like a good idea but i don't thin it would be accepted here :) Most of the people are very traditional, conservative.
Yes, this what I'm thinking. Some things will never change.
