the fight is on to retake green space

Where do we go when we die? In a spiritual sense, one of the great mysteries of existence remains unanswered. In a more literal sense, however, the answer is often not much clearer. With green spaces rapidly taken up by building work, or tidied up for recreational use, not a lot remains for modern, respectful burial sites. The traditional cemetery is a spatial anomaly of typology. While often filled with greenery and nature, their morbid association and demand for respectful privacy can result in an unwelcoming and unfriendly atmosphere.
