Apparently vertical exclusivity is part of the cemetery business now. Just like condos, the higher off the ground you are the more prestigious your dwelling. Mausoleums always struck me as halfway houses for those afraid of decomposition and bugs. A place where you might buy yourself some time...but inevitability you still end up as potting soil.
I guess it's now a luxury item....like Evian versus tap water.....Wonder if folks lay there for eternity musing about their drawers....(the ones they're in...)....Ed I'm so glad we are above Ethel...she always thought she was a step above us....but this shows her.
I love to hate these. Why do marketing folks think fake personalization is ever a good idea? It immediately pisses me off... I know it's a gimmick designed to make me think someone has actually taken the time to write a letter when it's nothing more than a damn font! I'm offended people think I'm not smart enough to tell the difference.It's like getting a silk flower bouquet.....it may look real from a distance....you may even think momentarily.... you're getting the real thing....but you know it's a cheap imitation upon inspection....and you want to have nothing to do with the sender.
Apparently many of the universities I'm associated with....want to "light up my life" with their own "unique" lamps. Here my old Alma mater Johns Hopkins...offers me a stunning lamp which looks just like the one Ohio State would like me to buy to remember we just spent $100,000 sending my daughter to school there.
Trouble is in a multiple degreed household...we'd look like a lamp store if we remembered all our universities.....somehow a diploma and cancelled checks for tuition is all I need to officially remember them.
