Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cypress Lawn Cemetery: Containing a Brief Description and Illustrations of a Spot Specially Designed by Nature for the Purpose to Which It Is Devoted Adjoining the chapel is the Receiving V'a'ult where remains may be placed pending the selection ofa final resting place. Provision for permanent overground vault burial can be made by the purchase, outright, of crypts in our. Mausoleum. Nature and the art of the landscape gardener have combined to make of Cypress Lawn a well-kept memorial park, at once a delight to the eye and a source of repose to mind and heart. Designed upon the modern lawn plan, its velvety green lawns, smooth and immaculate, dotted with graceful trees and flowering, ornamental shrubs, stretch in broad reaches on every side, unmarred by fence or coping. The perpetual care of every lot and grave and the preservation and maintenance of buildings, ornamental grounds and roadways are assured by the income derived from the investment of a certain proportion of proceeds received from sale of lots, graves and niches in Mausoleum. This vital feature removes forever the possibility of negligence, absence or forgetfulness of lot owners, and renders permanent the beauty of the whole Cemetery. The Perpetual Care Fund is invested in accordance with the provisions of Section 616 of the Civil Code of the State of California, and is under the control and supervision of the Board of Trustees. This Fund, on December 1, 1915, amounted to and is constantly increasing in proportion to the sale of lots, etc. All arrangements for the purchase of lots and single graves, openings in lots and disinterments, and grave-boxes, must be made directly at the Cemetery or City Office. A copy of the rules and regulations pertaining to all matters connected with the Cemetery will be mailed upon request.

Download or read book Land of the Dead written by Terry Hamburg and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2024-09-15 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fabled nineteenth-century migration to the American West was filled with peril and despair. From sailing ship to covered wagon, ambitious young pioneers endured six months of unprecedented, largely unanticipated personal hardship – that is, if they survived the trip. Death was a constant companion and the promised land proved as lethal as it was fickle. Land of the Dead explores how the demands of survival and adaptation during Westward Expansion changed the way we have buried and grieved for our dead in America. That custom was one of many transformations an outlier adolescent culture wrought upon the nation that spawned it. Nowhere did these changes play out more dynamically than in California, particularly in the quintessential American boom city - gold rush San Francisco, which banned burials at the turn of the twentieth century and then decreed the removal of 150,000 privately owned graves, the only major metropolis to execute a complete eviction of its dead. The epic cemetery battle began early, when San Francisco was still a remote, wannabe great city, and raged on for over half a century, replete with fiery polemics, political intrigue, nasty legal wrangling, and divisive elections. Public cemeteries were dispatched quickly but – as time will reveal – hardly well. Private sanctuaries took longer to expunge, and many of its “residents” were overlooked in what has been called “the greatest mass removal of the dead in human history.” How could the unthinkable happen? And how did other American cities reckon with the now-precious land once dedicated to their dead. In this well-researched and well-told history, Terry Hamburg explores how an “instant city” heritage bred that momentous decision and led to the formation of nearby Colma – the largest necropolis in America. Providing a fresh overlay on traditional narratives and revealing a burgeoning nation’s trends and conflicts, Land of the Dead examines how we relate to our ‘living dead’ then and now.

Download or read book Morbid Curiosity Cures the Blues written by Loren Rhoads and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2009-09-29 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For ten years, Morbid Curiosity was a one-of-a-kind underground magazine that gained a devoted following for its celebration of absurd, grotesque, and unusual tales -- all true -- submitted from contributors around the country and across the world. Loren Rhoads, creator and editor of the magazine, has compiled some of her favorite stories from all ten issues in this sometimes shocking, occasionally gruesome, always fascinating anthology. This quirky book is filled with tales from ordinary people -- who just happen to have eccentric, peculiar interests. Ranging from the outrageous (attending a Black Mass, fishing bodies out of San Francisco Bay, making fake snuff films) to the more "mundane" (visiting a torture museum, tracking real vampires through San Francisco), this curiously enjoyable collection of stories, complete with illustrations and informative asides, will entertain and haunt readers long after the final page is turned.
