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.

SUDDEN DEATH OF CHILD.
(By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.)
PUKEKOHE, this day.
A child named Isabella Annetta Rushford died after a few hours' illness whilst being driven to Tuakau from her father's farm near the Oputia River. It appears from evidence given at the inquest held at Tuakau yesterday by Mr C. Roadley, coroner, that the child, accompanied by her mother, left Auckland by train for Mercer on Thursday morning last, June 1. leaving for Rangiriri next morning and arriving at the farm on Friday evening. On retiring to bed the child appeared well, with the exception of what appeared to be a slight cold. During the night she awoke several times, and upon each occasion about half a teaspoonful of Irish Moss was given to her. On Saturday morning, on account of the child appearing worse, the parents commenced the return journey, and immediately on arriving at Rangiriri telephoned for Dr Wake of Pukekohe. They then continued their journey towards Tuakau, and about halfway Dr Wake met them but found the child dead. A verdict of death from inflammation of the lungs was returned.

OBITUARY.
MR. ALFRED E. SHRIMSKI.
The death occurred last night of Mr. Alfred E. Shrimski, proprietor of the clothier's establishment at the corner of Wellesley and Oueen Streets, called "The Working Man's Friend." Mr. has been failing for the last four months, so that his death at the comparatively early age of 42 years was not unexpected by his friends. Deceased was a nephew of the Hon. Samuel Shrimski. M.L.C., and came to Auckland about 14 years ago from West Australia, starting business shortly after his arrival here. Deceased is survived by his widow (formerly Miss Barnett) and one son. The funeral will leave deceased's late residence at 2.30 p.m. to-morrow

Ferguson Springs Cemetery
Trigg County, Kentucky....
This cemetery was relocated from its original locations to this spot during the 1960's to make way for expansion of Kentucky Lake....
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 Ranville War Cemetery is a Second World War cemetery containing predominantly British soldiers killed during the early stages of the Battle of Normandy. It is located in and named after Ranville in the Calvados department, east of Caen in lower Normandy. A large proportion of those interred were members of the British 6th Airborne Division.
The village of Ranville was the first to be liberated by elements of the British 6th Airborne Division on the morning of 6 June 1944 (D-Day) when the nearby bridge (Pegasus Bridge) was attacked and captured. The cemetery contains the grave of Lieutenant Den Brotheridge - considered to be the first Allied death on D-Day.
The churchyard was immediately used to accommodate battlefield dead. Following the end of the war, the war cememtery was created which gathered burials from locations including Amfreville, Colleville-sur-Colombelles, Houlgate, Orne and Villers-sur-Mer.

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.
