Holy Sepulchre Cemetery (Hayward, California)
Holy Sepulchre Cemetery is a cemetery in Hayward, California. It is a Catholic cemetery run by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Oakland, which also operates the Holy Angels Funeral and Cremation Center at the same location..[1] It was the first Catholic Church-owned funeral home in the U.S.[2][3] Vineyards planted in 2006 provide grapes for sacramental wine used by the Oakland Diocese. The wine is bottled at Rockwall Winery in Alameda, which also sources grapes from Holy Cross Cemetery in Antioch, and St. Joseph's Cemetery in San Pablo. The cemetery vineyards are believed to be the only such vineyards in the United States.[4]

gollark: > You breed maybe once or twiceActually, I may just not have children, it seems inconvenient and annoying.
gollark: My inability to visually imagine things is really helpful on the internet, honestly!
gollark: This very long conversation maaaaay have not really gotten anywhere and created/exposed some large divisions in the server, but oh well.
gollark: > and thus define human breeding as an inherent functionAnyway, you seem to just be defining it as one, and I'm not sure what you're trying to say by that beyond that having children... is a thing we can do, and one which evolution selects for to some degree. That doesn't make it *the right thing to do* all the time.
gollark: Grow children in vacuum tubes then, but not vacuums.
