An improved cemetery experience whereby the cemetery and accompanying facilities may celebrate and demonstrate the passion and hobbies of the deceased individual. The contemplated themed cemetery may be a stand-alone cemetery that celebrates a common passion of a plurality of individuals, yet still maintains the traditional burial and memorialization process. The themed cemetery may take a specific event, or commonly understood and loved location and memorialize that location in the theme of a cemetery where those with that common interest and enjoyment of the commonly understood location may desire to be buried. The cemetery would closely resemble both visually, and physically a replica of the theme being celebrated and may provide space for the deceased while still providing adequate income and revenue in the way of advertising for the operator.

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS 
       [0001]    This application claims priority to the earlier filed U.S. Provisional Patent Application Number 61/108,670 filed on Oct. 27, 2008, and U.S. patent application Ser. No. 12/606,977 filed on Oct. 27, 2009 which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. 
     
    
     FIELD OF THE INVENTION 
       [0002]    The field of the invention is for cemeteries. More specifically, the field of invention is for a cemetery having a themed and unique configuration relating to an event, apparatus and the like. 
       BACKGROUND 
       [0003]    Cemeteries and different burial places have been contemplated from the beginning of time. The human race has always desired the best ways to respect and bury their dead. The type of burial has changed over the centuries to include burning, burying, sending out to sea, building elaborate burial structures and the like. 
         [0004]    The two most common types of burial methods today are cremation and casket burial. In more recent times, cremation has become more prevalent and is a little less expensive as it does not require acquiring a plot, or tombstone/gravestone. However, what is actually done with the cremation remains is often up to the families or the deceased. Many wish their ashes to be spread or placed at certain locations and others are stored by loved ones. The second traditional method of burial includes the use of a casket, plot and gravestone/mausoleum. The dead are prepared for burial, placed in a casket, and lowered into the ground. A gravestone or mausoleum is placed on top of the burial site to mark where the deceased is located. Typically, prior art cemeteries are parks with trees, grass and other park-like structures. Some prior art cemeteries are located on church grounds or other holy sites. Cremation remains are also sometimes found at these similar locations. 
         [0005]    However, no significant developments have been made in the cemetery industry for some time. One way of denoting the interests and hobbies of the deceased individual is to carve the information directly onto the deceased headstone or gravestone. The information provided may give some idea of the individual's personal life, hobbies or other information that may immediately denote some characteristic or personal trait of the individual. Outside the markings of a headstone or gravestone, it is often very difficult to identify characteristics about the individual that may have identified their personal traits, interests or hobbies. 
         [0006]    Therefore, a need exists for a new and unique cemetery theme that may allow the deceased some options when considering where and how to be buried. Additionally, a need exists for an improved cemetery which may provide greater deference and options to individuals that may be dictated by personal interests and hobbies while still giving the options for the type of burial ceremony, including cremation and/or traditional casket burial. Moreover, a need exists for an improved themed cemetery that may celebrate the common passion in the memorialization process, yet still give diverse burial options.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION 
       [0059]    The following description of a preferred embodiment(s) is merely exemplary in nature and is in no way intended to limit the invention, its application, or uses. For ease of description, only one exemplary embodiment is herein described in detail. However, it should be understood that a person of ordinary skill in the art would contemplate that any of a plurality of embodiments may utilize the same themed cemetery construction for many different themes including stadiums, landmarks, buildings, parks, and the like. It should be understood that the use of a car racing stadium is utilized only for illustration purposes only and is in no way limited to only race car stadiums. 
         [0060]      FIG. 1  illustrates an overall perspective view of a themed cemetery  1 . The themed cemetery  1  may take any of a plurality of shapes and sizes, depending on the desires and accommodations necessary for those wishing to be interned at the location. The themed cemetery  1  may take the form of a car racing facility  3  as illustrated in  FIG. 1 , but may also take the form of any preferred landmarks, including sports stadiums, arenas, famous landmarks such as parks, buildings, structures, vehicles, trains, planes and the like. For illustrative purposes,  FIG. 1  illustrates a themed cemetery  1  in the form of a racing car facility  3  such as those found in famous car racing tracks like Daytona raceway, (not shown) California raceway (not shown) and/or the Indianapolis raceway (not shown). 
         [0061]    As illustrated in  FIG. 1 , the themed cemetery  1  in the form of a racing car facility  3  may have a plurality of sections included therein. For example, the racing car facility  3  may have many of the same features commonly found on the actual racing car facility  3  for which it is modeled. The themed cemetery  1  may include grandstands  5 , commonly found in most real world racing car facilities. The grandstands  5  may include a plurality of areas including at least a seating area  7 , media box areas  9 , and grandstand burial areas  11 . It is contemplated that the grandstand  5  take the same form and shape as the real world racing car facilities and be approximately the same relational size to the real facilities. As mentioned earlier, the grandstands  5  of the themed cemetery  1  may have a seating area  7  which may be used by those individuals that come to visit those interned there. The seating area  7  of the grandstands  5  may also provide an area which may be suitably familiar to the individuals that may be visiting loved ones buried in the themed cemetery  1 . For example, friends that may have attended baseball games together and held season passes or attended race car events together and sat in the same location for years, may desire to sit in those same locations in the grandstands  5  when visiting the friends and/or relatives that may be buried at the themed cemetery  1 . A greater sense of familiarity may be provided with the seating area  7  of the grandstand  5 . Moreover, providing adequate seating area  7  may also allow for the accommodation of more people in the themed cemetery  1  and may also relax some of the anxiety related to visiting individuals at a cemetery. 
         [0062]    Additionally, as illustrated in  FIG. 1 , the themed cemetery  1  may also have a grandstand area  5  which may include media boxes  9  or luxury boxes. These media/luxury boxes  9  may be located in similar locations as those in the real world facilities. Many individuals have luxury boxes and a great deal of their social life while they were alive revolved around these luxury boxes  9 . These media/luxury boxes  9  may be utilized as either visitor areas or, in the alternative, may be utilized as burial areas for those wishing to be buried in the areas that many spent so much time in. However, as these media/luxury boxes  9  in real life cost significantly more than regular seating areas  7 , similarly, the media/luxury boxes  9  may cost more to be buried therein which may increase the exclusivity and profitability to the owner of the themed cemetery  1  facility. The luxury boxes  9  may encompass the entirety of the outside edge  13  of the themed cemetery  1  and may have the added advantage of looking out away from the themed cemetery  1  to property located adjacent (not shown). These luxury boxes  9  may include similar characteristics as those found in the real world facilities including glass  15  which looks towards the infield area  17 , the grandstand seating area  7  and even into the winning circle  25 , and the track  29  itself. 
         [0063]    Included in the grandstands  5  may be a grandstand burial area  11 . As enumerated above, many individuals may have spent much of their time at a particular sporting event, such as season tickets for baseball games where the season ticket holder held the same seats for many years. The themed cemetery  1  may provide the individual with the ability to be buried or interned in much the same location or seating area where that individual may have spent so much of their leisure time. Additionally, visitors that knew the individual well, would know that the individual had been buried in the grandstand burial area  11  at a location that was close or at the location where that individual spent much of their leisure time. Many visitors may have at one point or the other, gone to a sporting event with the person interned or buried there and may have fond memories of their time with that individual. The grandstand burial area  11  may also provide nostalgic and/or fond memories for the individuals that visit the deceased, creating a positive atmosphere as opposed to the deserted, and desolate prior art cemetery grounds that provide the atmosphere that would provoke the fond and happy memories, thereby creating a positive cemetery visitor experience. 
         [0064]      FIG. 1  also illustrates the track area  29  of the themed cemetery  1  car racing facility  3 . The track area  29  could be akin to the baseball field, football field, etc. of another type of facility and is utilized for illustrative purposes only. The track area  29  may have been the focus of the deceased individuals' attention when they were participating or viewing the event. The individual may have some fondness for being buried in the place for which they focused so much of their attention. From the facility owner's standpoint, the track area  29  or the field area in the case of a baseball field, or football field may comprise the majority of the area of the facility and may be the least expensive portion of the themed cemetery  1  to buy. Moreover, because the track area  29  may comprise a large portion of the surface area of the themed cemetery  1 , the facility owners may utilize the space to promote aesthetic features of the cemetery  1  including different vegetation/plants  31 , along with statues  35 , benches  37  (see  FIG. 2 ) and the like. The track area  29  may allow for a park-like atmosphere which includes plants  31 , traditional seating areas  37  and walkways  39  which may allow visitors to walk around the track area  29  to view other parts of the themed cemetery  1 , sit in the grandstands  5  and to find the appropriate loved family or friend that may be interned or buried at a particular location within the track area  29 . 
         [0065]    The track area  29  may even be divided into a first area  41  and a second area  43 . The first area  41  may comprise more uniform tombstones  47  that lie at ground level and may complete the aesthetic appearance of a track area  29 . Moreover because of their proximity to other tombstones  49 , the first area  41  may be marketed as a cheaper area to purchase than other areas of the themed cemetery  1 . The second area  43  of the track area  29  may be marketed by the facility owners as a more expensive, larger plot area of the themed cemetery  1 . As illustrated in  FIG. 2 , more ornate tombstones  51  may be located in this second area  43  than those present in the first area  41  of the track area  29 . The tombstones  51  may include larger headstones  55 , mausoleums  57  and/or more decorative and specific memorials  59 . These specific memorials  59  may include figures such as racing cars  61 , favorite players/drivers, favorite number designators  63  and many other optional indicia that may show the deceased's preferred and/or love for that specific pastime.  FIG. 2  further illustrates the themed cemetery  1  and the continuation of the theme throughout the entire facility, which in the case of the race car facility  3 , may include the general presence of racing flags, such as winner's flags, caution flags, and the like that may be incorporated both figuratively into the ground coverings, and other memorial areas and may even include things like trophies  69  which may be placed ornamentally around the entirety of the race car facility  3  themed cemetery  1 . Additionally, it is contemplated that the second area  43  may have specific memorials  59  and larger headstones  55 , which would likely necessitate larger spaces between a first plot  71  and a second plot  73 . Thereby walkways  39  may be incorporated between a first plot  71  and a second plot  73  and vegetation  31  may be incorporated into the spaces therebetween. 
         [0066]      FIG. 2  further illustrates the winner's circle area  25  of the themed cemetery  1 . The winner's circle area  25  may be set up similarly to the winner's circle of the real world facility. Moreover, the winner's circle area  25  may be marked with ornate decorations such as vegetation  31  and trophies  69  which may mark it as such. Additionally, it is contemplated that the winner's circle may be utilized as a burial place for those wishing to be buried in this specific area whereby the facility owner may choose to charge a premium for burial at that specific location or may use the winner's circle as a visitor's area only with seating areas and the like set up. The winner's circle  25  may be at a focal point to the entire themed cemetery  1 , whereby the grandstands  5  and the track area  29  all encircle the winner's circle  25  which may increase the value and location of the burial spots close to the winner's circle  25 . Individuals may wish to be buried near that area as many people will desire to visit this area because of its unique ornamentation including plaques and potentially other memorabilia from actual races/sporting events. 
         [0067]    Also illustrated in  FIG. 2  is the outside edge  79  of the second area  42  of the track area  29 . As can be seen, larger headstones  55  may be located in this area that may be adjacent to the winner's circle  25 . Moreover, statues  81  may also be placed in this area. In an exemplary embodiment, a statute  81  representing the likeness of a deceased individual may be displaced whereby the individual statue  81  may be wearing their favorite jacket/article  83  of clothing having the indicia of the sporting event or the racing number  85  of their favorite driver thereon. The statue may be displayed to show the deceased individual's love and enthusiasm for a particular sport, event or particular individual, driver or the like, yet still have the personalized touch of bearing the likeness of the deceased individual. Again, the use of the deceased individuals' pastimes may bring joy and fond memories to those visitors that are visiting the themed cemetery  1 . The atmosphere may also play a part in encouraging the fond memories of visitors that come into the themed cemetery  1  such that they may re-live some of the experiences that they may have had with their departed loved ones. 
         [0068]      FIG. 3  further illustrates the grandstands area  5  and the entrance area  87  of the themed cemetery  1 . As can be appreciated, the entrance area  87  may lead directly onto the track area  29  and into the grandstand area  5  as would be normally found in a real world facility. Facility owners may also lease the space in the entrance area, or the outside surface of the themed cemetery  1  to potential sponsors and/or advertisers that may wish to advertise and sponsor the facility. This may allow for increased revenue in the themed cemetery  1  and may also lead to the credibility of the facility as many of the real world facilities have similar sponsorships and advertising appearances throughout the entire facility. For example, if a stadium has advertisements placed along the outfield wall, the themed cemetery  1  may lease the space to potential sponsors or businesses that wish to lease the space which would make the themed cemetery  1  look similar to the real world stadium advertisements that people have come accustomed to seeing in the real world facility. 
         [0069]      FIG. 3  also illustrates the grandstand area  5  with stairs  89  leading to the grandstands area  5  and stairs  89  leading to the track area  29 . The grandstands area  5  may have a plurality of walls  91  which may separate the grandstand areas  5  from the track area  29 . The walls  91  may also be set up to accept urns holding the cremated remains of the deceased. Each section of the wall  91  may have plaques  93  located thereon which may identify the final resting place of the individuals interned within that area. It should be understood that the walls  91  may be of sufficient thickness to allow for a plurality of cremated remains to be placed within them, along with the plaques  93  which identify the individual's identity. Also included in the grandstand area  5  as illustrated in  FIG. 1  may be a seating area for visitors to come and spend time at the themed cemetery  1  when visiting loved ones. 
         [0070]    The themed cemetery may take any of a plurality of shapes and sizes, depending on the desires and accommodations necessary for those wishing to be interned at the location. For example, the themed cemetery may take the form of a baseball stadium ( FIG. 5 ), a football stadium ( FIG. 7 ), a hockey arena ( FIG. 8 ), golf course ( FIG. 6 ), a park ( FIG. 10 ), and/or a casino ( FIG. 9 ). Advertising and promotional space may also be provided within the themed cemetery to coincide with the advertising and promotional space provided at the corresponding facility for which the themed cemetery is modeled after. For example, the advertising and promotional space  120  may be on an outside wall of the modeled facility of the themed cemetery. 
         [0071]      FIG. 4  illustrates the inner field area  101  of the themed cemetery  1 . The inner field area  101  may continue the theme of the facility. In this exemplary embodiment, the inner field area  101  of a race car facility may comprise mechanic pits and other holding areas. In this particular embodiment, it may be more desirable to have an inner field area  101  which may be more park like with ponds  103 , seating areas  105  and other ornamental features  107  which are still consistent with the overall themed cemetery  1  which may include pedestals  111  having cars, trophies and other activities associated with the theme. Additionally, walkways  113  may be provided to allow walking from one side  115  of the track area  29  to a second side  117  of the track area  29 . Other ornamental features and characteristics may be provided to enhance the theme of the cemetery while not detracting from the aesthetic pleasure of the surrounding areas.
