Burials seen as a meeting place

For many city residents, it would seem the cemetery is becoming one of the most popular places to meet and greet family members, friends and old acquaintances.
More than 300 well-dressed people filed through gate 4A at the Maitland cemetery yesterday morning.
It also appeared that most present had done this many times before. Tow groups of mourners sample out of the many which dotted the cemetery.
An increase in the number of burials has been taking place, especially amongst younger people who are losing their lives to HIV/Aids.
