From Dust to Dust

The New York Times carries an interesting article titled, "For a Price, Final Resting Places That Even Tut Could Appreciate." There are apparently a growing nnumber of expensive individual mausoleums. "The mausoleum says, 'I'm really significant in this world, I think I'm really significant to my family,' and this is one way to communicate that to the community." A vice president of a Wisconsin company that owns three cemeteries says, "there is this influx of people who are financially successful and who are thinking about these issues and how to have a structure that tells the story of their lives."
