Book excerpt: The contemporary urban condition has placed a great deal of stress upon American cemeteries. Many cemeteries, once sited at the edge of cities and towns, are now surrounded by urban sprawl and development of surrounding land. Boundaries become blurred and undefined, and incompatible programs are placed at the edges of the cemetery. Development and exploitation of land has resulted in the fracturing of a sacred environment in urban cemeteries, and some cemeteries have been displaced in the pursuit of developing land. The rituals and attitudes surrounding death and burial are also changing. Cremation is beginning to precede over burial for economic and practical reasons, and the rituals of death are becoming less personal. This thesis will address these issues through the critique and design of a new extension for the Blue Hill Cemetery, in Braintree. The process of design will consist of two investigations: the initial design of a crematory complex and burial ground, and an exploration of natural and artificial light in the complex's structures. The latter investigation is conducted through computer modeling, and it will also explore the computer's potential as a design tool. The first design investigation will recognize the pressures of the urban condition surrounding the old cemetery. An informed response is required-one that recognizes past and present uses of the site as well as the need to redefine the cemetery as a sacred space. Excavation of an existing land form is necessary to expand the cemetery, and the exploited land will need to be reclaimed as a sacred place. The movement towards the industrialization of the rituals surrounding death and burial have a counterpoint in the human aspects of the industry of excavating the land. The existence of a cemetery extension on the site of a defunct quarry and concrete batch plant allows the two sequences to begin a dialogue. The industrial cemetery reveals the human aspects of the concrete and quarrying industries. At the same time, the cemetery site draws upon its past mechanical existence to impart its industrial nature to those who experience it. The industrial processes required to excavate and process the land inform the organization and design of the cemetery extension. The crematory's presence will permit the funeral ritual to be affected by the industrial sequences of excavation and aggregate production. Additionally, the undefined boundary conditions around the cemetery will be engaged, integrating original cemetery, the new extension, and the juxtaposed urban fabric of the site. The second design investigation involves the inclusion of a fourth process into the project-the harvesting of light. Natural and artificial light become commodities to be processed by the structures of the crematory. The computer's ability to aid or inhibit the process of design and representation of light harvesting will be explored and tested. This new process will reinforce the initial investigation of the funeral, concrete batching and quarrying rituals/processes. At the same time, the separate buildings of the complex will be bound into a functioning unit through the harvesting ritual.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Southern Massachusetts is an area whose settlers and residents figured prominently in the founding and history of the United States, and yet with each passing year and every worn and toppled cemetry stone, the memory of more and more of the brave men and women who gave their lives during the Revolutionary and Civil Wars vanishes. Anyone doing genealogical research in the area covered by this volume can be thankful that these aging, weathering inscriptions have been preserved through transcriptions before they are irretrievably lost. The data in this collection was taken from tombstone inscriptions in 72 different cemeteries spread across nine Massachusetts towns. Every legible tombstone in every known cemetery in the towns covered is included. Each transcription contains some or all of the following information about the deceased: date and place of birth, date and place of death, cause of death, age a time of death, names of spouse(s) and parents, and the names of military organizations and campaigns in which the deceased served. An everyname index makes finding individual names simple. The towns covered in this volume are Attleborough, Dighton, Franklin, Holliston, North Attleborough, Plainville, Rehoboth, Swansea and Wrentham, all in the area of Bristol County, south of Boston.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A historical tour of the Bay State’s oldest burial grounds—and the sometimes-spooky stories behind them. Massachusetts's historic graveyards are the final resting places for tales of the strange and supernatural. From Newburyport to Truro, these graveyards often frighten the living, but the dead who rest within them have stories to share with the world they left behind. While Giles Corey is said to haunt the Howard Street Cemetery in Salem, cursing those involved in the infamous witch trials, visitors to the Forest Hills Cemetery in Jamaica Plain enjoy an arboretum and a burial ground with Victorian-era memorials. One of the oldest cemeteries in Massachusetts, Old Burial Hill in Marblehead, has been the final resting place for residents for nearly 375 years. Author Roxie Zwicker tours the Bay State's oldest burial grounds, exploring the stones, stories and supernatural lore of these hallowed places. Includes photos
