This visualization questions the notion of eternity: can one lay claim to space for eternity, with inscriptions being legible for all time? What does this say about burial in this place specifically, wherein graves are expected to be preserved unlike in other places in the world? What does this say about both place and death in the U.S.? The quote by the green burial organization leader entails a certain skepticism regarding the manner in which grave spaces are managed. The visualization itself depicts a certain eeriness: the nameless buried entity. Anyone could be possibly buried under this tomb (though we know based on the caption no one is buried there). But at what point does even a tomb with a name possibly lose meaning?
