The story, as George Plimpton told it, was that the Sedgwicks were buried in
concentric circles facing inwards, so that on the Judgment Day they wouldn't
be obliged to see any non-Sedgwicks.

   There is an amusing story in the biography on the Warhol actress, Edie
Sedgwick.  It says that her Sedgwick ancestor had the cemetery he was buried
in arranged so that his descendants would be facing HIM on the day of
resurrection.
