National Hotel for the dead

Cemeteries are eligible to be part of the National Register of historic places; they serve as a means of individual’s recognition of family history and as expressions of collective religious and/or ethnic identities. To future leaders, the cemetery is the only place they have to pay their respects their revered mentors and leaders (who have passed on). Cemeteries can also be deemed to be tourist’s sites where visitors go to learn about the history of various notable people in the country, state or community. The Arlington Cemetery in America, The Military Cemetery in Cuba, and The Kwame Nkrumah national park in Ghana are various beautiful sites loved by local and international tourists over time.
As a nation, the importance of the cemetery to historical, social, language, art and family studies cannot be overemphasized. With these in mind, it is wise to conclude that a cemetery should be befitting, treated with reverence, respect and decency. The cemetery should be NOT be a place for weeds, litter, broken blocks and badly built tombs but rather a resting place, well built, even comfortable enough to be inhabited by the living for family picnics, excursions, research etc.
A cemetery should  be seen more as “a hotel for the dead’.
