I visited the graveyard where many of the recovered victims of the Titanic were buried in Halifax, NS. People behaved incredibly rude there, just stepping all over the graves without watching their feet. In the case of the titanic, "resting in peace" unfortunately more applies to the people in the sea over the people who made it to land.
