How the American cemetery differs from ours: the experience of an immigrant
YouTube Channel Author Arseny khristenko I walked through a cemetery in the USA and compared it with burial places in post-Soviet countries - there were many differences.
The American cemetery is very different from our Russian one. The first thing that catches your eye is that there are no large tombstones, structures, or crosses, as is customary here.
Judging by the distance between them, people are buried beneath these small plates, whose bodies were cremated.
Interestingly, the place for burial is located among the hills in a ventilated area. It is as if a metaphor for the soul of a deceased person, if it exists, is scattered by the wind among nature. Due to this movement there is no longing or despondency.

There is a crane in the cemetery, next to the urn for flowers, everything is neat and beautiful.
And here is a nice place with a lawn, a flower bed and an area to sit. It doesn't look sad at all, but just like a part of life.
You can look at the figure of American President Abraham Lincoln, who was famous for abolishing slavery in the United States - this is the greatest event in the history of the country.

His monument is decorated very beautifully and patriotically.
In which cemetery will you still see deer?
We have arrived at a panorama that tells the history of the United States: for each of the episodes, a whole story can be told. This is very touching, and most importantly, infinitely patriotic.
We approached the church, but it was closed that day. This is an ordinary Catholic church - very calm, unprovoking. Although I also like domes purely from the outside - this architecture is especially neat.
I don’t associate a cemetery in America with something sad, maybe it’s just this American cemetery - of course, it’s not the only one.
There are also children's cemeteries in the USA, it is very strange to see them: there are many toys, children's handicrafts, and such a place causes great sorrow and pain. And here it looks more and more like a park, where you can come and think about something.
I think it is very beautiful.
