Podcast: Cemeteries − the parks and public spaces of the future
Can you have a wedding between the graves? Why not! – as long as it’s respectful.
Listen to the podcast on ABC Listen
The future of cemetery design is multi-functional, as public spaces just like our gardens and parks. And also as a refuge for animals in the midst of our cities and suburbs. They can be places for the living as well as the dead. How can cemeteries play a broader role in our communities?
