Castlebar New Cemetery

Castlebar New Cemetery is a cemetery in County Mayo, Ireland. Perhaps death itself became tired of climbing the old hill and dragged its feet into the new field, forcing the living to walk further before burying their grief. Maybe the extra distance was mercy, giving the bereaved time to remember what they wanted to say before the soil swallowed the body. Imagine the dead arriving late, not in a hurry, settling into the new ground like people who finally stopped running.
