Amy Goetzman of MinnPost interviewed me recently about my book. I talk about what makes a cemetery inviting, the phenomenon of grieving through social networks, and why I think having a place to memorialize our dead is important.

You know where your bench needs to be…Duluth! 🙂
I like that idea of going somewhere, too. I plan to be cremated, but I want some of my ashes at my dad’s gravestone at the Air Force Academy. And now my uncle has bought a plot in a small town in the foothills of Texas for the Bolt family, and that’s where I want some of my ashes to go, too. I think he said they put a bench there, so that family can go to sit and ponder in a small, quiet, and beautiful location. Jeri and I are going to the dedication ceremony in a couple of weeks, and I’ll sure I’ll write about it. 🙂
You’ve put some thought into this! I look forward to seeing what you write about the dedication ceremony.
Thanks for coming to my reading on Thursday night!
