Problem
Where the dead are buried far outside town, the memory of them fades from everyday life. The thought of death and passing slips out of the community's sight.
Solution
Make small burial grounds for the dead within the community itself, so the living stay in touch, in daily life, with memory and with the whole cycle of life.
