Mulkey Pioneer Cemetery is a small historic cemetery located in the south hills of Eugene, Oregon, United States, in the Hawkins Heights portion of the Churchill neighborhood. The hilltop, with sweeping views of west Eugene, the Willamette Valley, the Coburg Hills, and the Cascades, was first used as a cemetery in 1853. The cemetery property was deeded to the Bailey Hill School District in 1891. Management was taken over by the Mulkey Cemetery Association in 1925. The Association still maintains the land, and became a 501(c)3 nonprofit corporation in 2008. The cemetery is located at 3335 South Lambert Street. (www.mulkeycemetery.org/)
The Commonwealth War graves Commission, which looks after former British Empire and Commonwealth troop burials from WW1 and WW2 does a stunningly good job at maintaining these sites in an immaculate, non-celebratory way.
Quiet homes for heroes. Forever. As it should be.
Borough Cemetery, Eye, Suffolk
I was making a return visit to this cemetery just a couple of weeks after my first, because I was on the hunt for a memorial designed by Ninian Comper.
Comper was a close friend of the Tacon family of Brome Hall, and Maude Tacon was the patroness of Eye church. She bankrolled the fabulous Anglo-Catholic makeover of the church in the 1920s and 1930s, mostly the work of Comper, in cooperation with the parish priest John Polycarp Oakey. It so happened that Oakey was also Tacon's lover, and the east window by Comper in Eye church is her tribute to him, depicting him kneeling at the feet of his patron saint.
My visit the previous fortnight had been in the afternoon, so I came back in the morning with the sun shining on the other side of the headstones.
On my first visit I had been put off exploring the conservation area because it was so overgrown, but in only two weeks much of the vegetation had already died back. I was able to get closer to four large memorials huddled behind a clump of yews, and was excited to discover that they were to members of the Tacon family. Among them I quickly found Comper's headstone to Maude Tacon, a typical Comper crucifixion with Christ's young head lolling, and at the foot of the cross a delightful Madonna and child. Tacon died in 1953, by which time Comper was 89 (he lived to be 96), but I expect it was actually based on earlier designs by Comper, who had a fair few crucifixions to his name over the years.
Eye Cemetery is a small and delicious cemetery on the road to the Thornhams. The twin chapels, both simple, even prosaic, sit to east and west of each other, that to the west now closed and used for storage, the east chapel maintained in the High Anglican tradition and open every day. The cemetery was opened in response to the closure of urban churchyards legislation in the 1860s, a mark that until fairly recently Eye was considered on a par with the county's larger towns.

Strange what I remember of some people from my 1950's Winster childhood.
Wes was a thick-set man and bald. He rarely spoke to me (or me to him) but I "knew" him as he played darts at the Miner's Standard with my Dad. My Dad called him "Wes" which is why I take the liberty of remembering him thus here. He had a family some of whom were my contemporaries at Winster School.
Wes lived with his wife Beatrice and family at The Myrtles, East Bank. I couldn't remember Mrs Ogan's name so I had to look that up and found it on the 1955 Register of Electors as I did the name of their house.

A peaceful walk around Wickham Rd Cemetery in Fareham this morning. The lawns are so dry and scorched due to all the sun and no rain
This cemetery will forever be associated with the epic attempt in 1944 by the British 1st Airborne Division of which the Polish Parachute Brigade was part, to seize the bridge across the Lower Rhine at Arnhem ahead of the main advance of the land forces. Most of the casualties suffered by the Division are buried here. A small number are in Jonkerbos War Cemetery at Nijmegen. The graves here are those of 1 sailor, 1.633 soldiers and 113 airmen of whom 1.625 are British, 33 Canadian, 4 Australian, 4 New Zealand, 2 Dutch and 79 Polish.

Carnton Plantation, Franklin, Tennessee. The Battle of Franklin was fought on November 30, 1864 and Carnton Plantation became a field hospital for the Confederate Army. Originally, the 1,750 Confederate soldiers who died during the battle were buried in shallow graves on the battlefield. However, John and Carrie McGavock, owners of Carnton Plantation, set aside two acres of their land so these soldiers could get a proper burial.
Gore Hill Cemetery is on the Pacific Hwy on the North Shore of Sydney. It is closed for further burials, and the trust in charge of it has very little income for maintenance.
A view from Mount Vulcan overlooking the famous Sunken Cemetery. It is a very unique diving and snorkeling spot! :D
Source: www.philippinesvacation.org/camiguin/camiguin-sunken-ceme...
As the rising sun clears away the shadows of the previous night over the island of Camiguin, an imposing silhouette of a large cross stands guard over the location of the old capital of the island. Due to a fatal volcanic eruption of Mount Vulcan, the sea now hides the old capital, which was founded during the Spanish era.
According to local historians, Mount Vulcan had four historic eruptions. The first one was in 1827 but records of this eruption were nil. The second one was in 1862 when thick ashes from the crater flowed and overtook people who were fleeing towards the sea, resulting in 326 fatalities. The third one started in 1871. Previous experience had taught some of the Camiguin people of the dangerous whims of Mount Vulcan. Thus, when earthquakes were felt, they fled as far away as possible from the volcano, but some stayed behind. There were spasmodic eruptions and the people who fled decided to stay away until the time when the volcano finally subsided in 1875. But when they returned, they have lost their land and their friends.
The whole capital of Camiguin, with its cemetery, sunk under the sea. In the following years, the sunken land and the gravestones can still be seen when the tide is low. But in 1948 until 1953, Mount Vulcan erupted again, sinking the whole area deeper, to around twenty feet. In 1982, a large cross was built on the solidified lava to mark the site that became the graves of the ancestors of the Camiguin people. It has become a sunken cemetery. Now, it is one of the world’s most unique diving sites.

The Jewish Cemetery, New Bedford, MA, is eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places under Criteria A and C and Criteria Consideration D at the local level. It retains integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association. The cemetery contains the graves of members of all four historic Jewish congregations in the city of New Bedford, only one ofwhich remains active (Tifereth Israel), as well as of members of an early Jewish mutual aid organization, the Workmen's Circle. In form and inscription content, the gravestones in the Jewish Cemetery are markedly distinct from non-Jewish cemeteries in the city ofNew Bedford. The form of early markers and the overall density of the burial ground appear to sustain Eastern European burial customs. Later markers also show clear differences in massing compared to those in non-Jewish cemeteries. Most significantly, Jewish gravestone iconography exists nowhere else in New Bedford; only one grave depicting the hands of blessing, the symbol of the ancient Cohanim, or priests oflsrael, is known to exist elsewhere in the city. Moreover, differences in marker iconography demonstrate clear distinctions in ritual practice between Orthodox and Conservative Jewish congregations. From 1899 into the current day, the Jewish Cemetery has been the primary burying ground for Jewish people in greater New Bedford and contains information that is not readily available elsewhere.

Description: Comb graves in Phillips Cemetery in Overton Co., Tenn.
Date: February 26, 2013
Creator: Dr. Richard Finch
Collection name: Richard C. Finch Folk Graves Digital Photograph Collection
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.
