I love the perspective from which this story was told.

beautiful.

Thank you. There are only two cemeteries left that I know of in The City, the one at Mission Dolores and the one on the Presidio of San Francisco. Nearly all of the dead were re-buried in the City of Colma long ago.

How do you contact the columbarium

[@thomasaBliss]

Good but a mistake to present this in black and white.

*Fix the title.*

80K or 8,000, The Atlantic? The man says 80K, with a K!

The only public records we could find on the number of niches in the cemetery was the number 8,500, but we did change the title to better reflect Emmit's statement.
