it's strange--as atheist and secular as i am, i still have these occasional moments where i'm drawn to some particular observance of judaism... maybe it's more a cultural/ethnic thing than a religious one? i was thinking about my deceased grandparents and that led to my thinking about the tradition of putting small stones on grave markers to indicate that the person has been visited or some such and now i'm wondering if my grandfather was buried or cremated (my grandmother was cremated) and whether or not there's anywhere to put the stones to mark that someone was thinking about them.
