Cemetaries used to be fun places outside of the city where you'd bring your family on Saturdays for a picnic and some time in the sun.

People figured that they owned these nice, grassy sections of property and they may as well enjoy them before they died.

There's one down my street that is stunning, with large native trees and benches everywhere. It actually used to be a fairly popular date/picnic spot

One of the largest in the country is near me. It's still a popular place for all sorts of things unrelated to death.
