Morbid in Buenos Aires

Let’s start with the end, because there is great hope to be found. Why do people build such elaborate graves, if they would not have hope that their life is meaningful?

I don’t make plans for death. And given the way people drive here in Buenos Aires it could happen any minute. I have told my parents that they should burn me (cheap) and have me shucked into the ocean (no rental fees), and I be in my favorite element. Though there is something to be said of having a little house in the city of the dead.
