“Burial grounds are like libraries of the dead, indexes to lives long gone,”
Peter Ross, A Tomb With a View: The Stories & Glories of Graveyards

“The word ‘mummies’ conjures an image of a corpse wrapped in bandages, but that is not what these look like. They are more like bog bodies, stained and tanned and tough, except that they are so very dry. They bring to mind wood shavings, wasp nests, dead leaves, dust. They are skin stretched over bone stretched over time. More parchment than person. Autumn made flesh.”
Peter Ross, A Tomb With a View: The Stories & Glories of Graveyards

“What, I wonder, does Monty James remember, in his modest grave in Eton Town Cemetery? The things he loved, perhaps. The smell of pipe smoke and candlewax in long winter evenings; a ghost story told after dark.”
Peter Ross, A Tomb With a View: The Stories & Glories of Graveyards
