Life Among the Dead

Manilla's North Cemetery is the city's largest, with 70 to 80 funerals a day — and more than a million buried here. For some Filipinos, this sea of tombs and bones is more than a cemetery: It's also home.

@alybirdie You should be ashamed of the comment you put here.

@alybirdie you think that when you lose someone you love they will be forgotten just because someone is american? how ignorant. no one NO ONE forgets someone they love. just because people are American you think that they don't care about people? my sister died, she was buried, i never saw her. she died before i was born. and i never forgot about her. although i never saw her, i still love her, even though she is dead. i will NEVER forget her. i doubt you know shit about America.

What I don't understand is how they survive without catching an illness, corpses are usually a hotbed for illnesses.

[alybirdie]

And yet these people have more respect for their dead than Americans ever will. When an American's mother or father or aunt or uncle dies, they cry for an hour, put them six feet under, and never speak a word of it again.

which is why you should bury the dead into dust.. and not boxes.. so that such crisis wont take place.. in my country.. our cemetery is CENTURIES old.. and its not so large.. but the thing is.. when u bury the dead into the ground.. after many years.. if they are forgotten by their visitors.. their bodies would turn into dust.. and the new dead would be buried over there.. which is by then dust.. and it goes on.. from dust to dust...no need to dig em up after some years.. jst resting in peace
