To me, it was just where I was. I was there from the time I was six weeks old. So I actually worked in the cemetery starting when I was 13 and all the way into my 20s. I buried babies. I was part of a crew that buried full-bodied babies. and cremations, I filled graves, you know, almost all the things that you would do in a cemetery. So I have a more intimate, personal relationship with it.

I think it, in some sense, made me more aware of the practicalities of death. And so I didn't really feel the way that most Americans feel, where they felt a distance, an incredible distance from death. You know, I watched my father or listened to my father help grieving widows. You know, I've met with families when I was going to bury their baby.

I mean, I wasn't in a position where I could be so far away that I could live the American way of death. I was much more, you know, the death is part of life. It's part of how we live. And it's part of the natural cycle of this body of mine and yours. Nobody has been able to figure out a way not to die.

So in the 18th century, many small towns or larger towns in the United States had a civic cemetery, a government cemetery, a public cemetery. And then they had churchyards. And then they would actually have private, small, really small family cemeteries. And so you would have this mixture. It was a simple, say, quarter acre, half acre, and you just buried people in rows all the way along.
