This is a lovely grave. The first time I peaked in, I was surpised to see her statue. I will look up to see the glasswork next time. I'm curious, what is your interest? Are you a hobbyist or historian? It is so large. Do you know if it is full or are there spaces left?
A bit of both, really. I love a mystery. Cemeteries are like libraries and every headstone a book. There are only 3 interment. If you watch part 2, it's explained fully.
How differently we feel! I think it is our duty to pay this attention to them. We honor them by keeping their memory alive in this way. Perhaps you interpret our talking about them in their immediate presence as disturbing their eternal slumber, but I like the idea that their part of the conversation.. it's not as if we've come with shovels in the middle of the night. We die three times. Once when we physically take leave of this body, once on the day of our funeral and the third time when the last person who remembers us dies.

I should mention that building was a receiving vault prior to purchase by Dr Ertl. That's why there are so many crypts.
It would have been nicer if that conversation could have occurred outside... out of respect... IMHO. Fascinating video however, about the statue.
