This viewpoint, to me, is just another example of how our society has completely isolated death from the context of everyday life, even though death is one of the only two things guaranteed to all of us. Why should our places of rememberance and memorial be somber, shut-away places that we only go to for sorrow? They should be about celebrating life as much as remembering the dead.
