Landscapes of Death: The affinity of the Cemetery
The design of American cemeteries has not advanced with the avidity of other landscapetypologies. The signi cance of designed elements have been forgotten, rituals rewritten,and a barrier created between Americans and their dead. Cemeteries are no longerseen as a vital component of a citys cultural inventory, but as a necessity- a nal restingplace for the dead. Cemeteries are permanent green spaces, which occupy substantialcommunity space among the abiding city; creating a tension between the recordingof death, the landscape and the organisms of the city. Given this, cemeteries are notidentical; they vary across geographical region and scales of time, creating landscapes withspeci c identity. Burial in the United States has been informed by cultural, political, andeconomic concerns fueled by society- creating landscapes intimately connected to place.
The cemetery, as it is known today, rst emerged under the concept of a graveyard. Thecolonial graveyard was heavily in uenced by English burial practice. They were oftengeometric in design and located in farm elds and churchyards. Graveyards featured some
iconographic markers made of wood and stone. Functional in design, graveyards weretypically intimate spaces of either family or religious ownership. The shift from graveyardto cemeteries occurred from the late 17th century to the early 19th century as part of alarger reevaluation of the appearance of the city; as a result, Americans had to reconsiderthe characteristics of burial (Sloan 1992). This resulted in the abandonment of the graveyardconcept and the introduction of the Town/City cemetery. Unlike the traditional graveyard,the Town/City cemetery had characteristics of a formal garden on the borders of the city. Itplaced an emphasis on decorating the ground plane of the cemetery with three dimensionalstone markers, sculptures, and monuments as a memorial for the departed loved one.
The City Beautiful Movement further reformed the cemetery into a typology which notonly intended to remember the dead, but also served as a space to promote moral andcivic virtue among urban populations. Known as the Rural-Cemetery movement, thesecemeteries have received more attention than any other cemetery style. The Rural-Cemetery is a picturesque landscape, with gardens and lavish horticulture experiments.
They are typically located in the suburb of the city, and have three dimensional monumentsmade of marble and granite. More importantly, they re ect antebellum middle classculture, Romanticism, sentimentality, and family ideals. One of the most culturally relevanexamples is Mt. Auburn, located in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Equally important, thdevelopment of rural cemeteries sparked the public park movement within the states,which ultimately removed the community from the cemetery except during funeral rituals

of death. This was accomplished by substituting gravestones with headstones closeto the ground and erecting three dimensional monuments and sculptures in centrallocations, surrounded by trees. The Lawn Cemetery was the prevailing model for thelatter half of the nineteenth century until it was replaced by the Memorial Park model.
The Memorial Park is the twentieth centurys contribution to the burial of the dead, and hasfurther isolated Americans from death. The establishment of Memorial Parks responded tothe commercialization of death, the institutional development of the hospital, technologicaladvances in medicine, and the privatization of the funeral industry (Sloan 1995). MemorialParks have become familiar throughout the states; they are accessible both by the moderntechnology of the automobile, and the value laden atmosphere- lot holders are invited tobury their dead and leave the care and beauti cation of the burial place to management(Sloan 1995). Like Lawn Park cemeteries, Memorial Parks are pastoral in design, featuring
suburban qualities. However, unlike Lawn Park cemeteries, Memorial Parks have no threedimensional markers, monuments, or sculptures, instead markers that are ush to the ground.While landscape elements include bucolic sweeping lawns and a edge condition of trees.
Through tracing the history of burial in the United States one can see that the typology of thecemetery has evolved to one which spatializes American views of death- isolated, distant, andcasual. Moreover, the Lawn Cemetery and Memorial Park are homogeneous landscapes that canbecome static and abandoned. These typologies have been replicated across the United States,haphazardly, virtually erasing the unique qualities that can comprise a cemeterys identity. This is due to a blight of scared space, cemetery culture, and Americans somber relationshipwith death. While alternatives to the Lawn cemetery and Memorial Park cemetery model areemerging, they are limited in law and perception. Current alternatives include multiple-usecemetery, natural burial, entombment in a mausoleum, cremation with ashes preserved ina structure or scattered, and buried elsewhere. However, none of these models have provento effectively incorporate a cemetery culture which engages post baby boomer generations
(in rituals which are accessible) who cope with death differently than generations past.

A generational landscapeAmericans are both repelled by and drawn to the topic of death. In fact, the American cemeteryis a landscape that re ects generational believes about death, ceremony, and rituals in formand function.
Prior to the nineteenth century, death was a part of domesticated life. Family and friendsprepared the body for burial. Both the wake and the funeral world take place in the home,clocked in black fabric and owers, until the later part of the eighteenth century were it was
moved to the church. Once the grieving period was over, bodies would be lifted and carriedby palm barriers to the grave site. A short service with a sermon would occur. As a nal act ofsaying goodbye funeral attendees would place dirt on the casket as a nality of the journey.Nonetheless, in the twentieth century, Americans excluded death and denied its presencein the landscape by entrusting the dead to specialist such as funeral home superintendents,morticians, and other entrepreneurs; embalming bodies to hide their decomposingappearance; and shifting funeral rites from the family home to the funeral parlor. The funeralparlor served as a place to display the domestic identity of the deceased, as well as serve as asigni cant location for the funeral.
The popularity of embalming has been seen by scholars as both a denial of the dead, andalso an important funeral ritual. Embalming the body hides the physical processes of decayand places the body in a state that is supernatural domestication - further distancing theindividual from death, by portraying death as an eternal state of sleep. However, some scholarsargue that viewing the embalmed body reaffirms the realities of death (Laderman 2003). Therelationship between the living and the dead proves to be one of tension and ambiguity-death is undeniable.
While some death rites have vanished from the landscape, other than six feet below our feet,Americans have not stopped acknowledging death in popular culture. For example, death isa reoccurring theme in Walt Disney lms, Madonna songs, and television. Given this, someseculars argue post baby boomer generations are desensitize to death and avoid mourningdue to overexposure in media depictions.
Indeed, a separation has occurred between the living and their tangible care of the dead and
the landscape; but the topic of death is pertinent to many Americans. In fact, Generation Xand Generation Y (Millennials) have begun to project their own sensibilities onto ritual anddiscussions surrounding death. As be ts the rst generation of digital natives, they are startingblogs, YouTube series and Instagram deeds about grief, loss, and even the macabre, bringthe conversation about bereavement and the deceased into a very public forum (Seligson,2014:2).

chose cremation by 2018(CANA 2011).
Americans somber view of death coupled with the shifts in attituof desensitization to death and mourning, and environmentaresponses leads one to think that the typology of the cemetery not be the solution. Instead, a new typology needs to emerge, onthe term cemetery; but still provides a solution to burial and reccentury with death through rede ning and creating new death rit

The Nieuwe Ooster Cemetery, section 87, is an expansion of the largest cemetery in theNetherlands. The cemetery was designed using the theoretical framework of a barcode asan attempt to connect the section within the larger context of the cemetery. As a whole,the cemetery responds to the current trends of burial which include cremation, densi cation,and diversity of burial types. For example, the cemetery features sculptural zinc columbiumas well as traditional burial plots. Burial is minimized through an undulated surface that isinscribed to articulate the names of the deceased. Moreover, sensory encounters are createdthrough the use of plant and construction materials to provoke a conversation about time.

Langedijk Cemetery is unique in that it is connected to a network of greeninfrastructure. It purposely connects to other green spaces and over thewater to provide access to citizens. This is accomplished through the use of
a strong architectural armature and road system. Striations of columbariumshelp to lead pedestrians through a series of enclosed burial rooms and openlawn spaces. Langedijk also features formal accessory structures for visitors toutilize for funeral rituals and ceremonies, as well as everyday use. Structuresinclude: pavilions, seating walls, stairways, balconies and storage facilities.
