There is a nice small graveyard about 15-20 minuites away from my house, It has new graves near the gates, but towards the back there are older stones, and some really nice celtic crosses. The town crematorium cemetary is also nice in places. I like to walk through the older sections of the graveyard, as I really do detest those flat polished granite/marble slabs crammed all together. They seem so cold and ..I don't know the word..metropolitan perhaps? Not sure.
I am a little sad that I won't be buried in a nice old cemetary, as it would be great to have a place amongst all those old stones, but as I am pagan ( I don't think they'd let me in !! ) I want to be buried in a wood or forest if possible, with a tree planted over me.
If I were to have a gravestone I would have to have a nice black granite or basalt dragon watching over me . I collect dragons so a really big one ( about 6-8 feet tall ) when I am dead would be the "piece de resistance!"
