I admit I think this is one of the most unusual open houses I’ve seen, but I’m sure it’s all good.  Here are the details:

Featuring live music in the courtyard, joss paper demonstrations from Dr.Sun Yat-Sen Gardens, and guided tours of the cemetery. Take a stroll through the newly created columbaria and water features, and experience the spectacular view from the top of the cemetery. Have a picnic by the fountain, and help start a new summer tradition at Mountain View Cemetery.
