Suffering for my art today- 37 degrees and locked in a cemetery. But worth it. I think cemeteries are underrated because we are so disconnected to death in general and because we don't pay funerary art the respect that it deserves.
Personally I think a lot of funerary art is like the ultimate expression of love we have for others. Or ourselves. These days we are also about simplicity: a couple of lines on an epithet, a few dates and a photo.
But really, there are some amazing things to be seen beyond a cemetery wall if it's more than a few decades' old and there are worse places to be stuck on a hot, hot day.
