Long live the dead

The murderer is always the gardener. What do you think is wrong with the cemetery gardener? Cemetery gardeners are tall, lean, have a long nose, thinning hair and probably always have a scythe in their luggage. In any case, the gentlemen who dig around in old graves with Caterpillars and occasionally uncover a few old bones are at best sympathetic to heather and arborvitae. Or do you regularly go for a beer with a cemetery gardener, or are you even married to one? Exactly. The Association of German Cemetery Gardeners (BdF) has also noticed this. Since the beginning of October, it has been promoting the good side of the profession with a Germany-wide image campaign. Under the motto "Long live the cemetery", a commercial, posters, advertisements and a Website the gruesome diggers in the right light. The message: we have the cemetery gardeners to thank if not only our loved ones feel at home in the cemetery, but also those of us who visit them. They sometimes turn a grave into a pool if the deceased loved the liquid element more than anything else. The cemetery as a Garden of Eden - a somewhat quirky but courageous campaign. And very effective. To me, at least, the "cemetery gardener" species no longer seems quite so creepy. But I still wouldn't marry one. afw
