historic Gore Hill Cemetery, Sydney

At the funeral of Nilvia Calzadilla Núñez in Cueto, Holguin, Cuba. She was a 90 year old cultural icon who lived at the old folks home. Funerals in Cuba are usually the following day as they do not embalm bodies or have refrigeration to store them. Coffins use the bare minimum of a wood frame and are covered with cloth as bodies are removed from the crypt after 3 years and the bones placed in a smaller box for storage. Then the crypt is reused.

The story about her, her death, and her funeral is at http://bobmichaels.org/funeral of Nilvia Calzadilla.html

Not really a designated cemetery per se, but a marker deep in the forest noting the approximate location of an Omaha Tribe burial ground, where Chief Logan Fontenelle, last of the "Great Chiefs" of the Omaha, is interred.
