Mount Moriah Cemetery, Yeadon & Philadelphia, Pa. Mount Moriah was established in 1855 as one of the first rural pastoral cemeteries in the country. Many famous persons including Betsey Ross were buried there. After decades of neglect the cemetery was officially abandoned in 2011. A group of volunteers formed the “Friends of Mount Moriah” to clear the cemetery of the overgrowth of vines, trees, & weeds that made it unvisitable, maintain & update the records, and work to establishing a legal entity for the cemetery.

On a visit to see Sis last March I drove us to Magnolia cemetery in Charleston, SC, where practically every one of my ancestors has been buried for the last 150 years.
It was my first visit to Magnolia since Ruthie's grave marker was set early last year; after some research we chose the style you see here, modeled on Thomas Jefferson's impressive marker in Virginia, which we liked a lot. Difficulty in getting the stone for the marker delayed setting it in position for several months. Alicia, who had chosen not to attend Ruthie's funeral in 2007, sent Sis a number of very offensive emails, castigating her for not having the marker in place in a timely manner; Sis ignored her.
The quote at the bottom of the stone is from Ruthie's favorite hymn "All Things Bright and Beautiful", which we sang (at Ruthie's request) at Tiz's memorial service in 2004 and at Ruthie's memorial and funeral services in 2007.
During Ruthie's funeral service, while the minister was saying lovely things about her (and mirroring the thoughts in our hearts), butterflies hovered over and alighted upon Daddy's grave - behind Ruthie's stone in the photo above - and a heron slowly flew low past the site, turning its head as if to acknowledge Ruthie. Acutely aware of Ruthie's love of birding, those attending issued a collective gasp as it flew by.
My little sister died three years ago today. I miss her terribly. Love to you always, little one.
The 1st of November is a bank holiday in France ; it allows familly to travel to cemeteries to put chrysanthenums on the graves of theirs relatives. In French "all saints day" is called "la tousaint". It's a sad day.
This photo was taken in Bunhill fields, a cemetery in the London Borough of Islington, north of London. The most famous person buried there is probably Daniel Defoe, the author of Robinson Crusoe. This photo was taken above or through a fence.
PS : It's a shame that I didn't see Daniel Defoe's place. I loved his book when I was a teenager. I was even wondering if his book had an influence on my career choice ! May be a bit.
The 1998 African Embassy Bombings Victims memorial at Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington County, Virginia, in the United States. It commemorates those Americans who lost their lives when U.S. embassies in Nairobia, Keny, and in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania, were bombed on August 7, 1998.
Regulatory changes at the cemetery limited the size, placement, and number of memorials in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. Most new memorials are small plaques placed by military associations and foundations. Placement of the memorial includes a financial donation to help to maintain trees and grounds at the cemetery. As of September 2011, there were more than 140 such miscellaneous memorials in the cemetery.
This memorial is in Section 51, placed before a Tuliptree.

The Hetzler Cemetery dates to the mid 1800s as the final resting place of early settlers in Bureau County. The surrounding prairie is one of the last remnants of the wild prairie that once covered north central Illinois.

Unless I can be buried in a forest when I die, I would like to be buried in Greenbank Cemetary.
One of my first memories is being pushed in my pushchair by my Maternal Grandmother, Nan Chapple up the hill at the end of Greenbank View.
I went to school on Essery road to the now demolished Whitefield Boys School.
Before that I went to Greenbank Infants at the same site and inbetween Infants School and Secondary School I went to Coombe Road Juniors which also lead to Greenbank Cemetery.
At Whitefield Boys, games was held once a week at Gordon Road in Whitehall, we had to walk in groups of boys along Greenbank View.
Someone gave Nick Thomson some laxatives once at the Boys School and I remember the Assembly the next day with whichever teacher taking it telling us how he'd nearly not made it home.
Dave Yabsley dropping the friday collection charity bowl which had been in the school for about fifty years, he walked round that day with a tuppaware container.
I remember also one seventies summer being in a tree house in the field opposite and a gang of older boys taking it over.
One of my gang, can't remember who, ran to get my Mum who in turn run over and rescued us and shooed the older boys away.
I still have scar to this day on my left palm from falling onto broked glass walking acroos the field behind Gadshill Road.
I remember my Mum bandaging it up and me asking if it will scar, she told me probably not.
Dad still lives in our house, the house where I was born on Fishponds Road, a stones throw from Greenbank Cemetary and I suppose it feels like home to this day.
As you can see, lot's of memories, Greenbank is a special place.
Back in the General Cemetery off Spring Bank West Kingston upon Hull. This time I am at the far end of the cemetery closer to Chanterlands Avenue, the dereliction at this end is far worse than the end closer to Spring Bank. The Quaker Burial Ground is something to see with so much history of the many people who helped build this city in years gone by. The burial ground is surrounded by a small hedge and the head stones are all as you see here. This part is separated by a small allay about one person wide or slightly more from the remainder of the General cemetery. These are the first 6 photos of 11 in colour and 11 in Monochrome of The Quaker Burial Ground.
