The cemetery is located on the Crow Indian Reservation, inside the Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument.
The main burial site before the inception of Oakwood was Rose Hill Cemetery, which covered 11.8 acres in the north side of the city. People became dissatisfied with Rose Hill due to inaccessibility, the lack of natural beauty and the fact that it was not easily improved. Also within a few years, the growing city would encroach into the surrounding area. Between 1841 and 1935, 10,561 burials were made and only a few were moved to other cemeteries when it closed. In the 1950's, city workers buried most of the head stones in the interest of safety. The city planners wanted to make the land into a park but that could not happen until all of the bodies were removed which would involve obtaining permission from all families of those interred. Today, Rose Hill occupies about a city block and is a barren hillside with some tombstones at the top.

Near Passendale, Belgium. There are 11,954 burials on the site.
I arrived here in the evening, as it was bathed in the late afternoon sunshine, but with dark clouds threatening. As far as I could see, there was no-one else there.
Sacred to the memory of Frank A Warren, native of Providence, Rhode Island USA who was brutally murdered by a Creek miscreant on board AM ship "Hope", August 11 1861 in the eighteen year of his life.
Each cemetery is made up of rows of white gravestones; unlike French or German graves, these are not shaped like crosses, but are, instead, rectangles with rounded tops. However, each gravestone is marked with a cross, except for those where the deceased was known to belong to another religion, in which case, another symbol is provided. The graves are also marked with the name, rank and unit symbol of the soldier.
This shot suffers from a poor choice of filters. The dark red filter affected the foliage quite a bit while not doing anything to the sky. Manhattan, in the background, was veiled behind atmospheric fog and it did at least reduce that. Then again, that's quite irrelevant here as the Symmar-S 210mm is too short to compress the perspective.
Aperture and shutter speed were the same as the other shot: f/32 and 1/2secs and I used a little bit of front rise.

Taken On A Foggy Day..It Adds Effect To The Pictures,Taken At St Helens Cemetery,
Hard Lane,
St.Helens
Urn is from the Latin, uro, meaning "to burn". It is a popular symbol of mourning. It testifies to the death of the body and the dust into which the dead body will transform.
However, for some, it is also a symbol of immortality. To the ancient Egyptians, the storing of vital organs in the urn restores life. Remember the movie, "The Mummy"? Now, I only got to watch the remake.
The urn is second only to the cross as a commonly used cemetery monument.
