Graves , San Ignacio. Belize
It's a bit of a bummer when you rock up with a corpse under your arm and find out you forgot to ask for permission to stuff it in the ground. fail to prepare and you prepare to fail and all that.
I guess it is understandable as the place was rammed , full to the rafters, it was itself a bit of a death trap with no discernible paths and tripping hazards everywhere.
Just paint on a piece of wood tacked to an old stone cross, a child 9 months old.
There were quite a few marked with English names.
Belize, formerly,British Honduras from 1783 to 1964, the imperialist english raped the land for mahogany and other timber. In places forcing the indigenous population out of their habitats enslaving them to work the forests or just selling them in the slave trade.
Bowen was the second wealthiest citizen of Belize at the time of his death. Died in a plane crash in 2010.
The Grim Reaper cares not about wealth, you can't take it with you.
How quaint referring to birth and death as sunrise and sunset

The cemetery is always sad . But many people like to walk there....there is some kind of energy there, especially in the old ones.
cheers @alexey1976 thanks for dropping in, i agree about the energy, and to me grave yards are special places to walk and soak up the atmosphere
I like how they ordered the list: "Son, brother, uncle, boyfriend, cousin, and friend". So status of the boyfriend is higher than one of the cousin in Belize, but the uncle beats both the boyfriend and cousin. Good to know. 😄
But that's how we can read many inscriptions on the graves. Priceless.
Love the post, love visiting cemeteries.
cheers @x-rain i spend too much time walking amongst the dead lol, sounds like a game of chess !!
Angel's photo is beautiful.
