    I’m Native American and a retired Funeral Director, my main job was as an embalmer, I find these fascinating and beautiful. On my reservation we have mounds, and regular headstones, nothing as elaborate as these. Our cemetery is all dirt no beautiful grass , one area has a couple of trees and that’s it

    Totally loving your tours, so very relaxed, well spoken and beautifully done. (even when competing with the gardeners, without whom this would eventually not be possible) Thanks so much from Melbourne Australia
