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.
