Presently people began to congregate in the high center of the cemetery’s ridge, where, on this warm, sunny day, dogwood trees provided a little shade and low retaining walls provided places to sit. The service was about to begin. A man with a shaven head, a blue shirt, dark pants, and a tie was circulating and greeting people. Karen and I simultaneously intuited that he would be the preacher this morning, so she began taking photographs of him. At some point he spoke with her, and she described our project and explained that we would be documenting the event.
Several people described using their thumb to stretch crepe paper so that it resembled a petal. The paper flowers were affixed to wires or sticks that served as artificial stalks, then dipped in paraffin to make them rain resistant. Finally the flowers were thrust into the soft dirt of the mounds, as if growing from the grave, or otherwise distributed around the gravesite. To add to the natural appearance, some were laid against or close to the ground, while others stood erect a distance above the ground (Figures 2-10, 2-11).
Thus, in addition to its practical justifications, mounding is practiced for reasons of custom and aesthetics — it seems proper, and it is beautiful and moving to people accustomed to it.

We can describe the practice at four levels of meaning, all of which are simultaneously operative. At the simplest level, mounding distinguishes the grave from the surrounding neutral ground of the cemetery.
