Being a gardeners aid at the cemetery is a process of managing nonhuman life, while surrounded by the dead, for the aesthetic convenience of the living. This cemetery is very modern. The areas were people are buried are called “blocks” which is convenient because most of the people buried here lived in blockhouses. Each grave is leased for 25 years and if a grave is left unattended it will resold. The site is only a little over 120 years old.
