But that post and those memories are a great eulogy to his life. <br/><br/>gattina, I believe that cemetaries which use crypts (as in ARU's photographs) do so for practical reasons. New Orleans - like Belgium - is at or below sea level and the high water table does not permit burials below ground. <br/><br/>I prefer the aesthetics of the crypts. Cemetaries that look like golf courses seem insubstantial. And creepy. ARU, I’m so sorry about Husband’s Grandfather. But that post and those memories are a great eulogy to his life.

But that is a beautiful memory of the last time you saw him. The simplicity of sharing ice cream, even if it meant your son would end up itchy, probably meant a lot to him.
