South Apopka, Florida - Newton Bell finishing up a grave site in his family owned cemetery. The actual burial will be in a few hours. The phrase "six feet under" bears no relationship to modern practice. The casket must be buried deep enough so there is enough dirt on top to grow grass and no more.

Thanks for that compliment! Cerrillos is one of my favorite spots in the East Mountains. Here are a couple more, another from the same (predominantly Hispanic Catholic) cemetery, and another cemetery close by, past Broken Saddle that is predominantly Anglo.
