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.
The cemetery around St Andrews Cathedral is enclosed by a medieval wall that forms the monastic enclosure. Some very interesting monuments can be found within, including this of 'Tommy', fittingly buried in the birthplace of golf.
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 Hull General Cemetery Spring Bank West Kingston upon Hull, there is a group on FaceBook called The Friends of Hull General Cemetery. I met a member who told me if I would like to submit my photos to the groups pages on FaceBook. Doing so, I could not believe the history they provided it is astounding in its detail, the cemetery is full of wonderful history of the city and its residence going back hundreds of years. The group are right now in the process of clearing and tiding across the cemetery.

It abuts but is not a part of Magnolia Cemetery. The monument in the foreground commemorates the Union dead killed at the battle of Blakely which was fought on April 9 1865, the same day as Lee's surrender at Appomattox.
Is it macabre to have a favorite cemetery? Either way, these are from mine – the Dean Cemetery in Edinburgh.
Mount Hope Cemetery is a historic cemetery in southern Boston, Massachusetts, between the neighborhoods of Roslindale and Mattapan. It was established in 1852 as a private cemetery, and was acquired by the city five years later. It is the city's first cemetery to be laid out in the rural cemetery style, with winding lanes. It was at first 85 acres (34 ha) in size; it was enlarged by the addition of 40 acres (16 ha) in 1929. Its main entrance is on Walk Hill Street, on the northern boundary.[2] It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 25, 2009.
