\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Though a lot more serious (deadpan?) than the miniature golf course\u00a0in the Basement of Ahlgrim\u2019s Funeral Home<\/a>, the new 820 sq. ft. green and fairway at Sunset Hills Memorial Park<\/a> in Bellevue<\/strong> definitely falls into the same world.\u00a0They’re both functional. But where the Ahlgrim’s mini course serves to comfort the grieving children and provide a little escape, Sunset Hills<\/strong>\u00a0is a full-on cemetery with 1,281 plots and a vault for cremated remains (accessible through the golf hole itself).<\/p>\n

Arne Swanson, Sunset Hills’ funeral home marketing director, explained the concept to Seattle Weekly<\/a><\/em> in an interview today. “There’s a vault installed below the green<\/em>,” he said. “A passageway leads up to the top of the green and the hole<\/em>.”<\/p>\n
