Sometimes what you want to bury is not an ex, a job or a project. A city you left, a stuffed animal, a version of yourself, a belief, an old phone, a childhood dream. The Chapel is made for those graves, the hardest to classify and often the most touching.
It is also the historic heart of the cemetery: a small building with a candle glowing on top, and a zombie priest, Father Lazarus, who says mass there at any hour. You can light a free candle that burns for twenty-four hours, with a specific intention in mind.
Who rests in the Chapel
The "Other" category: everything that finds no place elsewhere. The graves here are often more personal, and stranger too, and their epitaphs are among the most read in the cemetery.

The Chapel
Step into the chapel: Father Lazarus says mass, zombie, skeleton and ghost worshippers fill the pews, and you can light a free candle for an intention.

Frequently asked questions
What can you bury in the Chapel?
Anything that does not fit the other categories: a place, an object, a belief, a former version of yourself. If you hesitate about the district, pick "Other" and let the Chapel sort it out.
How do the candles work?
Each visitor can light a free candle at the chapel, which burns for twenty-four hours. It is tied to an intention category, not a text, so there is nothing to moderate or write.
Who is Father Lazarus?
He is the zombie priest of tombz, a fictional character. He says mass in speech bubbles typed on the fly, with a slightly macabre kindness, in front of worshippers of all kinds.
