Cemeteries are the places where our personal story end and the stories of our remembrance begin. The rituals of burial are comforting to the mourners. Evidence of ritualized burial goes back 100.000 years. Just as we explore the spaces around us and get to know them over time until they become familiar places that comfort us, so to over time the unknown chaos and randomness of the universe is given meaning through the creation and repetition of ritual.

The beauty of these gates and their natural surroundings speaks to the important role they play in their local communities.
