Excellent suggestion!


Just ask any San Francisco resident how to get there! It's the
acid test of whether they're a true San Franciscan or not.


I know 'zaktly wherezit and have for decades. I think it quite
lovely. A few years ago, a friend took up residence there.

The neighbors are very quiet, so it's a peaceful place to reside.
However they are very restrictive as far as who they accept, and neither
you or I qualify.

I do believe that a key - if not prime- prerequisite to qualify is that only
one's personal, own ashes are permitted. So faggot or not, you do not
presently qualify...though some day (hopefully later rather than sooner) in
the future you will.

Another interesting bit - a person's remains is no longer for the most part
permitted in San Francisco. Early in the 20th century, exisiting cemeteries
were closed and the bodies supposedly moved to Colma, which - with the
continued burial of SF folks there over the years since - has gained the
cachet of having more dead people than live ones. But there are four
places in San Francisco where a person's remains is permitted. The
Columbarium in the Richmond district is one. The others are the columbarium
at Grace Cathedral, the National Cemetery at the Presidio, and the graveyard
at the Mission Dolores.

Of related interest is the following under 1992 in the SF Public Library
timeline ( http://sfpl.lib.ca.us/news/125/timeline.htm )

"The Library excavation uncovers part of the old jail and other rubble from
City Hall when it collapsed in the 1906 earthquake. Also found is a wedding
band, one of the last remains of the Yerba Buena Cemetery that once held
more than 5,000 bodies and was removed in 1870. "

Oh. And I was kind of sorry when the BART rail system got
extended so we couldn't call the Colma station "the end of the
line" anymore.

Thankfully, there is a Starbucks Interactive Brewer at the Richmond
District Columbarium. The beans for each cup are individually ground. No
espresso drinks, only French Roast (caf or decaf), hot chocolate, and
Tazo tea. Oh, and it's free.
