RE: Jim Morrisons Grave

It's kind of interesting how the western world view cemetery and death very different from Asian or at least the Chinese. We sort of avoid talking about death, and funeral and cemeteries are kind of dark places, not somewhere people normally go apart from twice a year when we go to pay respect to the dead. Whereas in the west, funerals and cemeteries are places to embrace and celebrate life. Thanks for the tour.

Very true. Death is discussed and experienced very differently by different cultures. I think in general, most people prefer not to talk about it in anyway other than as an abstract concept. Contemplating ones own mortality is often completely out of the question.
