Zoning Out ~ The Grave Marker:  Here's a case where the burial zone and the grave marker are wrapped up in one. It's called a mausoleum or vault (and there are other names, too). The gate appears as a front door and the black panel on the side suggests a window.  When you look inside the vault through that window though, you look outside instead. There, you find the deceased riding his cycle for eternity. Once again, a memorial gives us more than names and dates; it gives us a glimpse of the person and the times. Hill Crest Cemetery. [2013]
