Discussions on Death as a transitional space

I have chosen to follow down the idea of LIFE AND DEATH as a transitional space, for my project idea.
While we were in the cemetry taking photos for the 'swap project' as a group (Me, Helen and Jan) had a discussion about why we picked it and what made it a trasnitional space which also got me thinking about the subject and the whole concept.

The ideas we come across:

• Life is a transitional space in itself, we are constantly aging, constantly growing, and as the final part of the transition that is life is death.
• Graveyards and cemetrys: Is a transitional space in its self, Its where the spirits of the dead cross over between body and spirit world, its where the ceremonies occor. Its a place of rememberence, a place where family and loved onces come to remember those lost. Its a place of grief and the emotional journeys we all go on when we loose someone.
• Its one of the only places that we go to be connected to the dead, apart from maybe a hospital its the only place to encounter it.

I dont want my project to be all morbidity, I want to look at the relationship between Life and death, not really so much the passing over betwen life and death, but the relationship we have with it.

Here is a basic spider diagram which i did to accompany this post:
