...Huron Indian Cemetery The Huron Indian Cemetery formally renamed the Wyandot National Burying Ground, is located in downtown Kansas City, Kansas. Its entrance sets off the east side of 7th St. between Armstrong and Ann Ave. A circular cement/stone bench surrounding a tree, sets curbside just in front of a monument displaying eleven metal plaques telling the history and origins of the Wyandot Indians. I’ve worked across the street for 18 years and not once have I given this place a single thought before today. I did a little research before entering this cemetery and I’ll just say its history runs deep. I was so inspired after visiting, it pushed me to dig deeper. I feel that I cannot write a paper on this cemetery without going into its detailed history of events placing it on lists such as, the National Register of Historic Places (1971), Register of Historic Kansas Places (1977) and named as a National Historic Landmark (2016)....

...Nestled within suburban London is a picturesque necropolis housing the graves of both the famous and the forgotten. Spanning over 12 acres and containing thousands of graves, Highgate Cemetery is perhaps most popular for its celebrity residents, such as philosopher Karl Marx and novelist Douglas Adams. The cemetery has wormed its way into pop culture with rumors that the recently deceased George Michael will be buried there alongside his mother. However, the park itself boasts a rich history, and has been a striking piece of London for nearly two centuries. Highgate Cemetery’s overgrown flora, beautiful graves, and thriving wildlife makes it a breathtaking destination for anyone interested in rethinking their relationship with death. London in the 19th century was a minefield of dead cholera patients and plague victims. After a population boom in the early 1800’s, an already corpse-ridden London faced a dilemma: more living residents means more dead bodies. As a result, “Graveyards and burial grounds were crammed in between shops, houses and taverns — wherever there was space.” (“History,” Highgate Cemetery) Eventually, the stench became so unbearable and the health risks became so great that Parliament...

...Danielle Norman Professor Smith AMH 2020 01T 01, December 2015 Lagrange Cemetery In Titusville, Florida there is a small white church on Old Dixie Road. Old, decaying graves surround this picturesque church. While it certainly has a haunted feel to it, the cemetery also has a certain beauty. It’s old and falling apart in places, but there is so much history to be found in the headstones. From the founders of the town of Titusville to everyday people who just happen to call this place their eternal resting place. An early community, Lagrange’s founders can be found among the headstones. The church first started all the way back in 1869 and is the oldest church from New Smyrna Beach to Key West. It’s also the oldest church from St. Augustine to Key West ("The Historical Lagrange Church"). The Lagrange church was a protestant church. This community was usually mostly surrounded by water then, and there were little other people in this area besides a few Native Americans ("The Historical Lagrange Church")....

...What argument is Poole making about the importance of honoring our men and women in uniform? Poole argues that honoring men and women in uniform is critical, and that the United States, through monuments like the Arlington National Cemetery, is one of the best countries that honors their men and women in uniform. “No other nation goes to the effort the United States does to recover and pay tribute to its war dead, a military tradition older than ancient Athens” (Poole 2). The United States strives to bring home all of its fallen soldiers, not matter if they were an ordinary soldier, or a distinguished sergeant. This policy of treating all soldiers with honor and respect goes all the way to the Civil War. Poole all argues that the most important...

Many mature oak trees and a few mature pine trees possibly planted at the time of cemetery foundation fills the cemetery. At the south eastern region is an archway painted white with the lettering of Lone Pine cemetery written across the top. To my opinion the gravestones are all in good conditions with some older ones needing cleaning and renovations. Several graves have flowers giving the foresight that the cemetery's care is adequate.

...percent of the American population will serve their country in one of the five branches of military service. Today, the Veterans Administration has one of the most comprehensive health care systems for military veterans than any other country. In 1930, the US government budgeted over $73,000.00 to take care of the country’s veterans. The fiscal budget for the Veteran’s Administration continues to grow every year. There are several reasons the budget changes every year. First, the continuing number of veterans rises every year. Second, the budget needs to account for inflation and the consumer price index. Finally, Congress and the President may approve new programs that will help service members cope with medical or mental issues. This paper will discuss the history of the VA; budget preparation; constant dollars and current dollars, increasing budget in percentages and dollars the past 20 years; five year fiscal plan; and a conclusion. HISTORY OF THE VA BUDGET The United States has been caring for service members since the early 1600’s; the first law passed stated that disabled soldiers would be supported by the colony. During the Revolutionary War in 1776, the Continental Congress prepared a budget that provided a pension for soldiers who were disabled during the war. In the 19th century, the Nation's budget expanded when veteran’s assistance programs were expanded to include benefits and pensions to a veteran’s widow and...

...O O L Xo\\3i*L ^ 9-201-082 REV: MARCH 4, 2002 The Loewen Group, Inc. (Abridged) In March 1999, John Lacey and the management team at the Loewen Group, Inc., had to decide what course of action to take in light of the company's imminent financial difñculties. On January 22,1999, Lacey, a renowned turnaround specialist, was appointed chairman of Loewen, the second largest death care company in North America. Headquartered in Burnaby, British Columbia, Loewen owned over 1,100 funeral homes and more than 400 cemeteries in the U.S. and Canadá; it also owned 32 funeral homes in the United Kingdom. The company had come a long way since its modest beginnings in Canadá, where Ray Loewen, the founder (and, until recently, chairman and CEO), started out helpinghis father run the family funeral business in the late 1950s. During the last two decades, Loewen Group had grown explosively, mainly by acquiring small independent funeral homes and cemeteries in densely populated urban markets; in recent years the company had also acquired several large established funeral chains. Over the last five years alone, Consolidated revenues had grown by nearly 30 percent a year, on average, from $303 million to over $1.1 billion. Despite its impressive growth, the company faced a major financial crisis. It lost $599 million for 1998, compared to earning $43 million the previous year. Loewen's on-going acquisitions program had been aggressively ñnanced with debt. At year-end 1998...

...From the SelectedWorks of Dr. Philip Stone January 2005 Consuming Dark Tourism: a call for research Contact Author Start Your Own SelectedWorks Available at: http://works.bepress.com/philip_stone/5 Notify Me of New Work e-Review of Tourism Research (eRTR), Vol. 3, No. 5, 2005 http://ertr.tamu.edu ______________________________________________________________________________ Philip R. Stone Department of Tourism and Leisure Management University of Central Lancashire Dark Tourism Consumption – A call for research There is an increasing plethora of sites associated with death, tragedy or the macabre that have become significant tourist ‘attractions’. As a result, the term ‘dark tourism’ has entered academic discourse. However, dark tourism literature is both eclectic and theoretically fragile. This is especially the case with regards to consumption and its implications for understanding the ‘dark tourist’. Thus it is suggested that the dimensions of dark tourism consumption have not been extracted or interrogated – only assumed. Consequently, with death and the nature of dying at the crux of the dark tourism concept, this article calls for the development of consumer behaviour models, which incorporate contemporary socio-cultural aspects of death and dying. It is suggested that this in turn will lead to a better understanding of consumer motives within the dark tourism domain. Keywords: dark tourism, death, contemporary society, consumption By Philip R...

HRM is the role within an organization that spotlights on staffing of, management of, and given that direction for the people who occupied in the organization. The United States appears to be strewn with evidence of managerial failure. Whole industries – autos, steel, consumer electronics and others – have decreased victim to more aggressive, more efficient overseas competitors. The American economy is afflicted with stagnating productivity, high unemployment and the debilitating combination of surging inflation and high interest rates. The average age of the nation’s plant and equipment is about 20 years, twice as old as Japan’s. The rate of investment in research and development, the rate of new capital investment and the value of the dollar are all sliding with tangible consequences: a declining standard of living, more inflation and too few jobs (The New...

...Elements of Religious Traditions Paper When speaking about religious beliefs, many things can come to your mind and need to be considered. When beginning this topic let’s start off with defining what “religion” means According to "Dictionary" (2013), “it is a set of beliefs usually involving devotional and ritual observances, and often have a moral code governing the conduct of human affairs “. By this definition we can say that religion has personal meanings depending on the individual’s beliefs or what they are influenced by. In the following paper elements of religion will be introduced, the relationship with divine will be reviewed followed by the relationship with sacred time, the relationship with scared space, and lastly an examination of how these all relate to each other will be conducted. This paper will also review the critical issues that are presented when studying religion. Relationship with Divine In religious beliefs when speaking about divine the first thing that comes to mind for me is what is called a deity, considered to be supernatural people that are considered being sacred and divine. The meaning of the word divine is “godlike” which makes deities to be perceived as divine because of their supernatural powers individuals believe they have. But not in every religious belief do they have deities’ some beliefs such as; According to Molloy and Hilgers (2010), “The religion Zen Buddhism does not worship a divine being” (Chapter 1). Others such as for example...
