a final resting place

An informal group representing more than 300 elderly Vietnamese Americans in Boston are hoping to establish a central burial ground for their final resting place: Coming of age. Basically, as they enter their twilight years, they'd like to know that they'll be buried together, at a place where the religious and communal rights of their culture will be honored. At this point in their lives, it's a real concern. But cemetary space in the city is apparently running out... and so is time.
