a quiet corner

Here is a quiet corner in a mausoleum/columbarium in the Mt. View Cemetery.  The building remains open to anyone interested in visiting as long as the cemetery gates are open.  Chairs are dotted throughout the building for visiting, contemplation, and I imagine for reading if you want.  This particular building dates from the deco era although they've recently opened a new wing. 

There's a lovely wooden ceiling chapel for services, a garden room with a skylight, and endless corridors to wander.  This is only one of several such buildings on the vast grounds.  In case you were wondering, the most expensive niches are those that are at eye level and can run up to $18,000.  Better to enjoy the cemetery while you're alive.
