The NYC morgue (1st Avenue and 25th Street or so, squished between the Veterns Hosp, and the Bellevue Medical center)
has a latin motto in the entry way, greeting people,
i don't remember the latin, but the translation is Enter(welcome,) here, were death delights to teach the living.
a good motto for a grim place.
(One joy of my former employment as a Xerox tech, was, i got to go places i normally never would.. so i have been in the stacks of the 42nd street library, and in the morgue, and lots of other places, that are off the beaten path.)
