My apologies, but it's my honest opinion that these gargantuan 'over the top' constructions are more about the people left behind than the ones buried within them!
No need to apologise for puffing.... exercise is good for us. Respect to families for beliefs and remembering families, but doesn't building such huge places tie them down and commit those left behind to that town? Prevent them from moving away? I wonder, if the family dwindles over time if the sole inheritant can sell it? So much responsibility and I suppose assumptions on part of original paternal figure.
Very nice cemetery, I have a little different outlook on death.. the way I see it, us humans have polluted the Earth for probably around 80 years,.. why make such a big, monstrous, eyesore forever !? I do suggest cremation, like I’m going to do, I don’t think those mausoleum buildings bring you any closer to God when you’re gone.. no hate everybody, just my opinion, peace to all and try to enjoy life today !!
Gives more meaning to "you can't take it with you"
They look like homes and banks even to where it looks like they put the trash cans out for pick up. Beautiful!
Very nice , Fawkner was a big cemetery , much larger than I expected
Apologies for the construction back ground noise and all the birds chirping. Also the heavy breathing, I'm not as fit as I used to be lol
Wow! That last mausoleum is outrageous… This cemetery is 100% on my hit list… good job mate. 🤙
TJ if you get to Fawkner give me a shout as I don't live far from there and have a pretty good knowledge it.

There is no need to apologise. Everyone is entitled to an opinion.
The mausoleums are very impressive!
Very eye opening. Put me in the ground though. None of these buildings are going to last forever, then what happens to these poor souls.
A very good question
wat is the point? the dead don't care, they are not there.
Amen
Not sure if you bumped into the lady called kat she pretty much lived on her mums grave near there.
Sorry no I can't say I did
You Never know what you might find
How many coffins are in each?
It can vary depending on the size of the memorial

You have summed it up perfectly. Lots of questions, problems and responsibility for those left behind
