While visiting Westerveld cemetery in Driehuis, th

While visiting Westerveld cemetery in Driehuis, the Netherlands, I stumbled upon a peculiar gravestone. A Dutch poem was engraved on it that made me smile, but after reading it I noticed another intriguing fact. The gravestone had a birthdate, but no death date. This person was still alive!

As soon as I got home I googled his name, Dick Verkijk. Born in 1929, which makes him 90 years old on the day of the interview, Dick worked as a journalist and reported about the civil war in Yugoslavia. He currently lives in Utah. I got in touch with him and asked him about his reasoning behind reserving his own burial plot before his death.

The grave of Dutch portrait painter Thérèse van Duyl - Schwartze at cemetery De Nieuwe Ooster in Amsterdam. She died in 1918, half a year after her husband Anton van Duyl had died. Thérèse's sister created this grave monument and used Thérèse's death mask to model it.

At some point in the very beginning of time, each and every one of us looked exactly the same.
