About cemetery: is a spatially defined area where the remains of dead people are buried or otherwise interred. The word cemetery (from Greek κοιμητήριον, sleeping place[1][2]) implies that the land is specifically designated as a burial ground. Although there are some differences, the word graveyard is generally used interchangeably with cemetery.[3]
The intact or cremated remains of people may be interred in a grave, commonly referred to as burial, or in a tomb, an above-ground grave (resembling a sarcophagus), a mausoleum, columbarium, or other edifice. In Western cultures, funeral ceremonies are often observed in cemeteries. These ceremonies or rites of passage differ according to cultural practices and religious beliefs. Modern cemeteries often include crematoria, and some grounds previously used for both, continue as crematoria as a principal use long after the interment areas have been filled.(Wikipedia)

Sir Arthur Charles Clarke: Grave at Colombo, Central Cemetery, Sri Lanka
I have only read two of his books and seen one of his films but Sir Arthur has made a great impression on me and I am sure he has influenced many young people.
Muslim Cemetery in Colombo, Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka has a large minority of persons who follow Islamic instructions. These Faithful follow Islamic burial customs and tomb decorations. Primarily, they are not supposed to have permanent gravestones and the corpses have no coffins. The dead are wrapped in a burial shroud and placed in the earth. If not in life, then in death, all are equal.

Woman loses entire family in SLanka church bombing
(24 Apr 2019) Before the undertakers could move in, Anusha Kumari wrested herself away from her sisters and flung herself on the three coffins, wailing.
In an instant on Sunday, the 43-year-old woman was left childless and a widow when suicide bombers launched a coordinated attack on churches and luxury hotels in and near Sri Lanka's capital of Colombo.
The toll was highest at St. Sebastian's Church in Negombo.
Of the more than 350 people killed by the suicide bombings that the government blamed on Muslim extremists, about a third of them died at the church in the seaside fishing town while attending Easter Mass.
And perhaps no one lost more relatives than Kumari, whose daughter, son, husband, sister-in-law and two nieces were killed.
They were buried three days later near the church on some vacant land that has quickly become a cemetery for the victims.
Kumari, who is still injured from the blast, left the hospital to bury her family.
Afterward, she reclined in a cane chair at her home, hooked up to an IV dangling from an open window.
Gauze bandages covered the bridge of her nose and her right eye.
There was still shrapnel in her face.
A photo of her children was on the wall, while on the shelf were small statues of Jesus, Mary and St. Sebastian, an early Christian martyr riddled with wounds from Roman arrows.
She could see her son's drum kit on the upstairs landing, a gift from his father after doing well on exams, and a school portrait of her daughter.
All day, relatives, neighbors and nuns wandered in and out of the large house, offering food, consolation and prayer.
I had a wonderful family and two beautiful children, and a good husband, Kumari said. We had 24 years of married life without any issues.
Tears mixed with blood from her bandaged right eye.
During the funeral at the makeshift cemetery near St. Sebastian's, where mourners had to pass through security checks, a military drone buzzed overhead as the Rev. Niroshan Perera led prayers for the dead.
Perera, who grew up with Kumari's husband, Dulip Appuhami, and his siblings, recalled going as a boy with his friends and family to the church's well, where the faithful believed the water could cure them of diseases.
When the funeral ended, Perera encouraged everyone to go home quickly, fearing another attack.
Perera, who lost 16 relatives and friends in the blast, said he no longer trusted the Sri Lankan government to protect his flock.
