Welcome To The Land of the Silent
Minority....
Are you aware that
there are more people living on the face of the earth than have
ever lived and died in the history of the world?
Our cemetery is open from sun up until sun down, so stop by
to visit our residents or maybe just to dig up a few old
friends.
Walk among those reposed
in this silent slumber-land and dream of the day when you will
find such total peace and tranquility; no fussing, fighting, or even talking. However,
our residents are excellent listeners. Talk your hearts
innermost thoughts and darkest confessions here and, whether
good or evil, no body will ever know your
innermost secrets, .... at least not until
resurrection day. ("God did you hear what so-in-so told me
in the cemetery, and
you're still gonna let them in?")
Confession clears both heart and mind. Escape the hatred and
stress of the day and, as you stroll these burial grounds.
If you like what we have to offer you, and want to reserve your space in our
post retirement facility, contact Cornelius Cornhusker to make
your purchase and reserve your space.
We have yard sale space available on Saturday's and Sundays,
look for the funeral tent for the exact location and please
don't step on the dead.
Drop in at any time, especially if you're feeling down. As
always, "Willie promises to be the first to pick you up and the
last to let you down."
Why Should I Consider Reposing At Heyville Cemetery?
1. You never pay for burial spots beyond the time of occupancy
because they are never permanently bought, only leased. So, if you find an occupied
plot worth dying for, that you'd like to lease, let us know
and we will contact you when it becomes available. If you
are willing to pay enough, we may consider evicting the
current tenets or offer them other suitable habitation to accommodate your
needs.
2. You never need to purchase a tombstone. We just blast the old
name off and your name on.
3. There are no grave opening fees. In Hayville, the ground is
swampy and it rains a
little on most days, so we can usually just place the coffin on
the ground and wait for it to seep in.
Meanwhile, to take the stroll* and enjoy the view.

* Stroll may require you to download Quicktime if you do not
currently have it installed. Photos were taken by the author and are of the Cedar Grove
Cemetery in New Bern North Carolina, the current residence
of the author, and is the basis of the gate
and walls for the Heyville Cemetery in the book, Weepin'
Willie. The beating
heart motif comes from a cemetery outside of my adolescent
home town of Bessemer Alabama, where the heart beats on the solitary
tombstone.
