I don't get why this bill wants to make cemeteries open on holidays. It's like, why do we need to visit graves on Thanksgiving or Christmas? It's just weird and kinda creepy. Plus, it's not like I want to spend my holidays at a cemetery. This bill is just unnecessary and I don't see how it benefits anyone.
