Memorial Day, Easter, Christmas, somebody's birthday. Those are the big days where people will show up and fix the grave, put out flowers, do things. The rest of the time, there's the regulars. People will come on a weekly or biweekly basis, and they'll sit and talk to their loved ones. They're sort of out of that older culture.

But that newer culture is, oh, let's take the grandkids and see grandmother at the cemetery because they met the grandmother, but now she's passed away, and we'll go on her birthday.

And we won't go back for another year, or we won't go back at all.

So of course it's changed. I wrote a book in 2018, Is the Cemetery Dead?

It is a good title. And the reason that I wrote it with that title was there's all these pressures.

In 1960, it's very different than today because very few people were cremated. And most people who died had a full-body burial. And so there's a considerable amount of money at any period for a full-body burial. Cremations are much less money. So it really changes the business side of the cemetery.

It is. I don't know if we go that far. But it causes a lot of disruptions in the business. You know, the cremation rate in 1960 is less than 5%. By 2035, people are arguing it's going to be over 70%.

So in the old days, you would try to sell a very large plot of land. So in the 19th century, families would buy a plot of land that might have 30 graves on it. because you're buying a plot of land for the generations that follow you. By the middle of the 20th century, most of the time people would buy four, two for them and two for a kid, unmarried kids.
