The cemetery is not in a location that is peaceful. There’s industrial stuff along two sides, a busy city street on another, and Interstate 25 on the other. The embankments that lead to the interstate are dotted with grave markers. And all the way at the very top – just a few feet away from traffic – is the grave of a child. And a sign for PODS storage units.
