Can we use burial sites and rituals to determine things about our ancestors like social status, rank, gender, and even go so far as to state facts about their dietary patterns? If we are able to identify these things by the analysis of burial practices, do we still practice these certain behaviors in the present and will they grow in elaboration as time progresses? I believe the practice of burial and rituals associated with them will grow in scale as time passes on. There are questions of

The Westwood Cemetery was constructed in 1905, serving as the rest place for many famous individuals within the entertainment industry. Famous names such as Marilyn Monroe, Dean Martin, Natalie Wood, Roy Orbison, and Jack Lemmon are buried at this grave site.

Landscape Perspectives on Death Landscapes have been modified by humans since ancient times and continue to be today. Whether for intensive agricultural purposes or mortuary practices, it is part of everyday life. Modification of a landscape for mortuary practices is to connect the living and ancestors through physical bonds, but placing the dead with mapping out tombs is for the living. The landscape perspective varies between groups but by integrating the dead into an environment, through monuments

aluminum steel chairs. They were arranged in four neat rows on top of a well manicured thick green bed of St. Augustine grass. The triple degree heat in Dallas was unbearable even under the shaded green wings of the live oak tree that hung over the grave site. With the tell tale signs of compelled sweat on their foreheads and under arms, the temperature pressured the men to remove their suit jackets and loosen their shirt collars. The women were not phased by the heat either out of acclimation or

The Pit and the Pendulum: Movie vs. Book The movie "The pit and the Pendulum" was nothing at all like the book. The movie started out as a man walked along the ocean to enter a huge castle. His sister had moved there when she married Dom Madena, but now she was dead. The castle was used to torture Catholics during the Inquisition.

While the second clown defends

The cemetery I chose to visit and explore was the Woodlawn Cemetery in the Bronx. On the way to the cemetery I couldn’t help but feel anxious. When I began to drive past the cemetery to its entrance, all I could see were miles and miles of headstones. It was eerie to say the least.
