There are now two cemetery sites which have been dedicated at Shao Shan Temple. There is a cemetery for our human friends and a smaller one for our animal friends. CEMETERY We have received permission from the Town of Woodbury for a cemetery where human ashes may be interred. We will be proceeding to familiarize ourselves with regulations. This will be a cemetery for those connected to Shao Shan and our practice. It will provide a sacred site where lives can be honored and remembered. We are still in the process of planning out the site and forming the guidelines. This site will provide plots where a headstone can be placed and cremated ashes buried. We are considering a gazebo structure in the center of the entrance garden which would have an altal and benches for sitting. We may erect the platform for this structure in the summer of 2012. Animal Friend Cemetery: This is a separate cemetery for the burial of our animal companions ashes. There will be an annual ceremony held to bless our animal friends. Currently, children connected to Shao Shan Temple who created this site are regularly maintaining it. |
