Return to the Massive Grave Relocation - LA National Cemetery

The Los Angeles National Cemetery attests that they were merely taking the headstones out repositioning them with alignment boxes set in concrete rows, covering back with a soil and a layer of sod to keep a regimented appearance of strict rows. However, the fantasy of this piece is a series of questions regarding the landscape and idea of only headstones being moved. What if they were moving graves in from somewhere else? Wouldn't it be wild to learn that nobody was actually buried there? If people are there and they are moving the stones around, could we end up with the wrong headstone over a grave?

I'm sure they do actually keep record of who is where and check and recheck, but the idea still seems creepy, especially when walking through the cemetery and coming upon the work.

This more of the Massive Grave Relocation taking place at the Los Angeles National Cemetery, I was actually stopped by the police at one point. I'm not sure if it really had anything to do with me documenting their "landscaping." I've called twice and haven't gotten a call back about the moving. Again, I never saw where they were actually moving anything beyond the markers. Most Strange!

Also, I had a couple of trolls running for a minute screaming that there is no possible way anything shady or possibly faulty could be happening here with it being a federal cemetery. This link to a recent article should squelch any of those:

Here is a more recent article on the same subject. The work being done to keep these sites accurate is an awesome use of technology in modernity to avoid problems in the past.

The closing shot of this piece is to mirror the first POV of the dug up ground around the graves in the original video. You can clearly see the same tree, but the ground is now perfectly covered back over with grass, so well manicured that it looks nearly like carpeting.
