Cemetaries in Daylight

Personally I think abandoned houses are way creepier than graveyards.  But I have seen Poltergeist and I can tell you I fervently believe that you should never build a house where someone has been laid to rest.  Key word, rest.  I would be peeved if someone built a swimming pool in the place of my eternal rest.  And darn tootin' I would wreak havoc on the people building it.  About four years ago in my town they moved a family cemetary for a new housing development and people actually BOUGHT houses there!  Call me superstitious but I am waiting for the spirits to get their plan of attack together and get to haunting.
But I love cemetaries.  They are often the most beautiful place in town.  With shady trees and forever views they are always interesting to visit.  The following pictures are from St. John's Parish Church Cemetary in Barbados where my husband and I visited this summer.  This was the oldest cemetary I have visited, dating to the early 1600's.  It was incredible.

The above picture is the side of the church facing the Atlantic Ocean.  It's quite fascinating because there are dead people buried in the walls standing up!  See those abutments or vaults on the walls?  Yep, final resting places.  Well, hopefully.  A hurricane did take this church down once in 1831.  It was rebuilt and reopened in 1836.  In the inside are also niches and more vaults and stones on the floors letting you know who you are standing on.  Here's the view from the church.

As I stood there taking this picture I pondered the question of burial versus cremation.  I have always assumed I would be cremated and thrown off a party boat but after spending some time at this peaceful place maybe it's an equal fit.  Either way, I don't see myself coming back to haunt anyone.
