I’m Anu Ganguli. If you clicked onto this page, you’re probably reading my story in LOOKING FOR BAPU. I’m searching for the ghost of my grandfather, Bapu. I have to bring him back. My friend Izzy says the best place to look is in the graveyard. We’re supposed to bring a photograph of Bapu. Will the picture help us? Will we find Bapu in the cemetery? Keep reading the book to find out.

For some interesting information about cemeteries, visit the National Park Service’s web site describing burial customs and cemeteries in American history.

In India, where my grandfather was born, bodies are not buried. They’re cremated. This means the corpse is burned in a crematorium furnace or crematory fire (bodies are often burned on funeral pyres in India). In America, the remains are not really ashes. They’re actually dried bone fragments which have been crushed in a cremulator.
