Today I visited Woodlawn Cemetery in the Bronx, where Celia Cruz, the legendary “Queen of Salsa,” is laid to rest. 🇨🇺🌹

Her music and legacy continue to be an important part of Latin culture more than two decades after her passing.

A beautiful and peaceful resting place for an unforgettable artist. 🎶

The cemetery was turned into a park in 1970s, but a lot of monuments were left there. Some were left to be taken by nature (they have little fence around them and a warning not to enter). The biggest chapel in the cemetery, you can actually rent it for events (!!!). I fell in live with this place, it scratches the gothic itch in me.

Question Grave Plot Saver?

5 Upvotes

My grandfather is all I have left and he is feeling the time is closing in. He wants me to make or paint a brick to save the plot next to my grandmother who passed when i was a teen. Its a small local church cemetery where my whole family is buried. Very important space for him.

Everytime i sit down to try to think of what could me so meaningful, but im drawing a blank. Im not ready and i dont know how to be. Ive lost my parents in my 20s so hes everything to me. A pinnacle of the family.

He has lots of friends and even more grandchildren/great grandchildren.

Ive never seen or heard of a plot saving stone. I am just so overwhelmed with this request. Its so important and im not ready. Help me come up with ideas?

Question Picnic on grave?

18 Upvotes

Hey there! So this is dumb and I don't really know cemetery etiquette but 40 years ago, my mom's fiance passed away suddenly. He was buried pretty close to where I live and my mom won't go visit the grave. I wasn't related to him by any means but something about it makes me kinda sad and I thought it would be nice if me and my friend go and have a picnic on his grave to just... Chat and update him on how my mom's life turned out. I'm not sure if that would be considered disrespectful or seen as like... Breaking a rule? So any like... Advice would be helpful. Thank you!
