Families can purchase food, drink, and almost any household sundry at shops scattered around the cemetary. This is important as some spend weeks living in mausoleums, honoring the deceased.
Taken in a dilapidated cemetary in a dilapidated town. This place was so advanced in its decay and inbreeding that it made Gummo look like Deliverance (!!!).
Cents-Hamm, Luxembourg
5,076 American soldiers are buried in this cemetary, including Gen George Patton.
Juba (Arabic: جوبا) is the capital and largest city of the Republic of South Sudan. It also serves as the capital of Central Equatoria, one of the ten states of South Sudan. The city is situated on the White Nile and functions as the seat and metropolis of Juba County.
In the 19th century, a trading post and a mission, called Gondokoro, was located in the vicinity of Juba. It was the southernmost outpost of the Egyptian garrison, supported by a handful of soldiers, mostly ill due to the malaria and blackwater fever that was dominant in the region.
Juba itself was established in 1922 as a small town by a number of Greek traders which were mostly supplying the British Army at the time. Although their number never exceeded 2,000 inhabitants, together with a much larger number of the native Bari tribe with whom they had excellent relationship, the Greeks contributed in what is today visible structures downtown Juba Market area as well as the Greek Quarters (named by the British), a small suburb which today is called Hai Jalaba.
From 1899 to 1956, Juba was in the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan which was jointly administered by the United Kingdom and Egypt. British hopes to join the southern part of Sudan with Uganda were dashed in 1947 by an agreement in Juba, also known as the Juba Conference, to unify northern and southern Sudan. In 1955, a mutiny of southern soldiers in Torit town sparked the First Sudanese Civil War, which did not end until 1972. During the Second Sudanese Civil War, Juba was a strategic location that was the focus of much fighting.
In 2005, Juba became the interim seat and the capital of the Autonomous Government of Southern Sudan, although the proposed interim capital before the signing of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement was Rumbek. With the advent of peace, the United Nations increased its presence in Juba, whereas many Southern Sudan operations had until that time been managed from Kenya. Under the leadership of the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, the United Nations established a camp known as "OCHA Camp", which served as a base for many United Nations agencies and non-governmental organisations.
Juba became the world's newest national capital on 9 July 2011, when South Sudan formally declared its independence from the Republic of the Sudan. However, the South Sudanese government and others have expressed dissatisfaction with the city's suitability as a national capital, and the government studied a proposal that would see a new planned city built as a replacement capital elsewhere.

I found this pretty little setting in the Toowong cemetary in Brisbane today in between getting rained on. I had a great wander around there, some amazing history in this cemetary.

Cemetary, Lebanon, CT. The afternoon was beautiful; I like the setting on a hillside, the Revolutionary War era stones, and the nice capture of sun flare.
Cemetaries are utterly peaceful, places of spirit, and not, to me, morbid or forbidding - but they do get you thinking about mortality.
Recoleta Cemetary in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The same place where Evita, ex-presidents, the famous and the rich are buried. This is an HDR photo made from 7 pictures.
