Project Description
Memory impacts who we are as individuals and how we organize and structure the world around us. Many theorists have questioned whether memory is an individual or collective experience, and the answer to that question remains to be determined. Nonetheless, religion, its practices, and its rituals has historically impacted the memories and, subsequently, the death practices of people throughout history. This begs the question of whether sacred death practices and deathscapes can be cultivated, outside of the context of religion, to express and affect the collective memory of today’s society. It is critical then that a new deathscape is designed that can reflect and be reflected in the contemporary collective memory of American society. Cain Park & Cemetery strives to be that deathscape.
