The origin of the cemetery
In most cultural forms, it is the duty of families to provide burial places for the dead, because it is generally believed that people still have kinship after death. In the Bible, the land that Abraham bought from the Hittites is characterized by caves, where Abraham can bury the dead in his family. Maintaining family harmony is a long-standing custom popular in many parts of the world.
The location of the house often needs to be chosen: in China, Mr. Feng Shui chooses the location and the windy area. A cemetery may also be regarded as a sacred place or a forbidden area. In Japan, Mexico and other countries, cemeteries are places to pay homage to the dead on some occasions. In other countries and other religious groups, cemeteries are desolate and simple, and few people are there.
Even if a tribe or community is responsible for providing cemeteries, being buried in community cemeteries is an enviable privilege. Foreigners can live in towns or cities, but they cannot be buried in their cemeteries. In ancient times, Jews, Romans and other nationalities established special cemeteries to bury criminals, foreigners and the poor. In Europe, from the Middle Ages to the19th century, convicted witches and murderers and people who committed suicide were not allowed to be buried in cemeteries.
