Mount Avon Cemetery
In 1826, Mount Avon became the first officially platted cemetery in Oakland County. The "Old Ground" or "Historic Acre" contains headstones dating from 1817, the year the earliest settlers arrived in the area. Members of the Graham family, Rochester's founders, are buried in Mount Avon, including James Graham (1818-1839), thought to be the first white child born in the county. In 1911 a statue of Billy Yank was erected in memory of Oakland County's Civil War Veterans.
A cemetery for pet animals in Colma, California.
Pet cemeteries are a part of our culture. Pet owners who are emotionally attached to their pets often bury them ceremonially. Walk through any pet cemetery and you can see the love and emotion on display in front of you. The many monuments and memorials are evidence of the love people have for their departed pets.
San Joaquin cemetery is located in Iloilo, Philippines.
Built at the twilight of Spanish rule, San Joaquin cemetery was initiated by Fray Mariano Vamba, the last Augustinian parish priest of the town. Baroque architecture with oriental influence characterizes the overall design of the Campo Santo. San Joaquin Cemetery is still well preserved and maintained.

We noticed that you couldn't hear the road noise from within the gates of the cemetery. As soon as we stepped out of the gate onto the sidewalk on Church street, we could hear the cars going by. What creepy force keeps the noise out? New Brunswick, NJ.
The New Jewish Cemetery (Czech: Nový židovský hřbitov) in Žižkov, Prague, Czech Republic, was established in 1891 to relieve the space problem at the Old Jewish Cemetery, Prague. It is about 10 times bigger than the Old Jewish Cemetery and provides space for approximately 100,000 graves. The cemetery is still in use today and operated by the Jewish Community in Prague.

For years, the area around Bedford has been known for its abundance of (a.) limestone, and (b.) stone carvers. Put those two together, and you've got a very scenic cemetery.
At the top of the stairs we encountered this old cemetery. If we hadn't been geocaching, we probably would never have found this beautiful spot. Tho no one is sure where he is buried, we did see Robert Harpers headstone leaning against a wall in an enclosed cemetery.
Brompton Cemetery is one of Britain's oldest and most distinguished garden cemeteries. It combines historic monuments, trees and wildlife with the stories of the remarkable people buried here. This beautiful landscape is the only Cemetery in the country owned by the Crown and managed by The Royal Parks on behalf of the nation.
Brompton Cemetery is still a working Cemetery. As one of the Magnificent Seven cemeteries, it was opened in 1840 by the West London and Westminster Cemetery Company to respond to the demands of a rapidly growing city. Designed by Benjamin Baud in the neo classical style, Brompton Cemetery was intended to be a garden for public recreation as well as providing burial space.
Howevery, many gravestones are crumbling, as this photo shows.
My second annual late winter cemetery photo. This is located in Washington Township, Michigan. Notice the rooftops in the background? A subdivision has been built up to the edge of this 19th century cemetery.
From the spring of 1915, the hospitals and convalescent depots established on the islands of Malta and Gozo dealt with over 135,000 sick and wounded, chiefly from the campaigns in Gallipoli and Salonika, although increased submarine activity in the Mediterranean meant that fewer hospital ships were sent to the island from May 1917.
During the Second World War, Malta's position in the Mediterranean was of enormous Allied strategic importance. Heavily fortified, the island was never invaded, but was subjected to continual bombardment and blockade between Italy's entry into the war in June 1940 and the Axis defeat at El Alamein in November 1942. At the height of Axis attempts to break Malta's resistance in April 1942, the island and her people were awarded the George Cross by King George VI.
Malta's defence relied upon a combined operation in which the contributions made by the three branches of the armed forces and Merchant Navy were equally crucial. Although heavily pressed in defence, offensive raids launched from the island by air and sea had a crippling effect on the Axis lines of communication with North Africa, and played a vital part in the eventual Allied success there.
Malta (Capuccini) Naval Cemetery, which once belonged to the Admiralty, is divided into two sections, Protestant and Roman Catholic. Most of the 351 Commonwealth burials of the First World War form a triangular plot in the Protestant section, the rest are scattered elsewhere. Among those buried in the cemetery are 44 men from HMS "Egmont", the Depot ship at Malta, and 22 who died when HMS "Russell" was sunk by a mine off Malta in April 1916.
Most of the 694 Commonwealth burials of the Second World War are also in the Protestant section in a plot near the entrance, but there is another group in the Roman Catholic section. The rest are scattered.
The Commission also cares for 1,445 non-war burials in the cemetery, and 137 war graves of other nationalities.
