RE: The beauty, luxury and style of Highgate Cemetery

in Liketu2 years ago

I like this graveyard because there is not much pollution. In Balkan, there are tons and tons of plastic candles which burn for about 3 days and then there is a waste and nothing more. Actually, it is not even recyclable plastic - you can't recycle it :( And those graves you have are at least organic stuff, imagine graves nowadays, at least 5% plastic on an average human being. Dying should be organic matter, not tombs, candles and fireworks. Pharaoh tried differently and we see where it gets him - In freaking London's museum so every kid can make a selfie with his dry corps :)

Burning candles for three days sounds pretty dangerous as normally there's bound to be trees and leaves nearby graves. Is that a popular tradition in the Balkans?

yes, but the cemeteries here usually don't have trees, just paths, and graves. The danger is nonrecyclable candles by themselves only.
