The word "cemetery" traces back to the Greek word "κοιμητήριον" (pronounced "koimētērion"), which translates to "sleeping place, dormitory".

"I tell you the truth, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned; he has crossed over from death to life.
I tell you the truth, a time is coming and has now come when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God and those who hear will live." John 5:24-25
"Do not be amazed at this, for a time is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice and come out — those who have done good will rise to live, and those who have done evil will rise to be condemned." John 5:28-29

I manage an eclectic mix of memorials: many relatives and friends but predominantly those serving in the army, navy or airforce who died during the two world wars, as well as civilian casualties of those wars.
