Grave of Capt. Asa Boardman, d. 1825 and Olive Boardman, d. 1869, Miner Cemetery, Middletown, Connecticut
A little out of the way from my usual area of London and Southern England, I visited here when staying with relatives on holiday.
With several historic graves and some amazing views of the surrounding countryside it ranks up there as one of the more beautiful cemeteries I've been to.

Because the ground is rocky, they can only dig a few feet down at most, and so their graves / crypts are all partially above ground, which makes their cemetery like a cross between a traditional in-ground burial cemetery and the above-ground crypts of New Orleans. I found it interesting.

Description: Comb grave of Martha Oakley in Bilbrey Cemetery in Overton Co., Tenn.

Historical note: Comb graves are a type of covered grave that are often called "tent graves." The length of the grave was covered by rocks or other materials that look like the gabled roof or comb of a building. They were popular in the 19th and early 20th centuries. It is conjectured that these graves were covered to protect them from either weather or animals, or perhaps both. While comb graves can be found in other southern states, the Cumberland Plateau in Tennessee has the highest concentration of these types of graves.

An epitaph we can all relate too: "She hath done what she could." This headstone stood out from the rest; the etching dark and easily visible despite being over 100 years old!

I think brightly coloured plastic flowers are quite effective, especially at this time of year.

Greta, VIC, Australia
"The remains of bushranger Ned Kelly have been buried at a small graveyard in
north-east Victoria, more than 130 years after his execution.
Kelly's body was exhumed from a mass gravesite and identified in 2011,
sparking a dispute over who had rights to his remains.
He was executed after the historic Glenrowan shoot-out with police in 1880.
The infamous outlaw's body was buried today in an unmarked grave at Greta
Cemetery, near Wangarrata, by his relatives.
Relative Joanne Griffiths says the service brought closure for the family.
"I think it is final closure," she said.
"We've brought him home, back to his family and back to the area that he
loved.
"We've given him his final wish, so that makes us quite happy."
Ms Griffiths says the cemetery is the resting place of many other Kelly
family members.
"There's a lot of unmarked graves," she said.
"Some of them originally were marked - unfortunately because Edward was so
famous, some of our graves were fiddled with over the years.
"We've made a real effort to ensure that he's going to be safe and he's
surrounded by family and friends, which is the way he would've wanted it."

Elaborate modern graves in the cemetery at the Byzantine church of the Koimisi tis Theotokou, outside the village of Kounos.
Brighton Borough Cemetery is one of Brighton and Hove's big 5, and one of my all time favorite cemeteries I’ve visited.
I love how you step off a busy main road in Brighton, and find yourselves in an isolated woodlands location, with so much to explore, with hundreds of gravestones, monuments, tombs and mausoleums to explore. The layout isn’t that strait forward, but that helps add to the charm as you explore the many areas, from packed graveyards, beautiful areas of countryside and memorial gardens. Even after visiting multiple times I still found new areas to explore.
