Grave Terminology - the Lite Version
Do you know the difference between an obelisk and a ossuary? Don't worry, most people would need a little help. Fortunately, help is on the way. I am referring to the website called The Limited Encyclopedia of Grave Terminology.
The author, Joel Gazis-Sax, has taken time to inject just a bit of sublime humor into the definitions. For example: obituary is defined as "a form of embalming by means of the written word."
Funeral is defined as "the cause of a short-term cash flow problem for the living."
It is a delightful site to visit. The list of terms contains all of the most common cemetery-related words and is sprinkled with a good measure of not-so-common words.
Hope you enjoy the site!
