Pere-Lachaise



There are various ways of death rites. The rituals are deeply related with personal belief, religion and culture.

Cemetery is one of representative space for death. However, the form of cemetery is also various. Even the notion of cemetery for european is different with Korea, the cemetery could be a kind of park for people. Even, young couples enjoy their date in the cemetery. The fact was unfamiliar with me, because for Korean people, cemetery is kind of space of fear.

So, I went to one of the famous cemetery in Paris, Pere-Lachaise to find out the differences.
