The impressive centrepiece at Keynsham Cemetery near Bristol. The land for the cemetery was purchased in 1877.
Mount Moriah Cemetery, Yeadon & Philadelphia, Pa. Mount Moriah was established in 1855 as one of the first rural pastoral cemeteries in the country. Many famous persons including Betsey Ross were buried there. After decades of neglect the cemetery was officially abandoned in 2011. A group of volunteers formed the “Friends of Mount Moriah” to clear the cemetery of the overgrowth of vines, trees, & weeds that made it unvisitable, maintain & update the records, and work to establishing a legal entity for the cemetery.

Jenni and I discovered Green Hill Cemetery by chance during a backroads trip to New Orleans in 1995. Although I took pictures of it then, I didn't write down the location. I knew I wanted to see the place again -- the Tom Barton marker in particular -- during our April visit to Indiana, so I set to work googling. It took me quite a while to locate it.
Bedford is in limestone country, and there's a giant monument at the cemetery commemorating its deceased gravestone cutters. I can't help wondering if Tom Barton was a cutter himself. Is it possible he created this marker during his retirement years?
Greenwood Cemetery open in 1869 after being converted from a farm, and covers 43 acres. It is on the Philadelphia Register of Historic Places. Benjamin Rush (a signer of the Declaration of Independence) lived on the farm in the late 1700s. Over the years, Greenwood's fortunes declined. The cemetery became a target for vandalism and many headstones were toppled and broken. Maintenance became sporadic and vegetation began to consume the cemetery. Only the front third of the cemetery is cleared enough to walk through unimpeded. The rear of the cemetery has reverted to forest with trees springing up through the middle of graves. It is not an unusual sight to see a headstone pinioned between two trees. The Knights of Pythias, upset over conditions at Greenwood, tried unsuccessfully to have their name removed from the cemetery. The court has appointed Gloria Boyd & Kevin Lynch custodians of the cemetery on a temporary basis. They are in charge of getting the grounds in repair and arranging burials. The decision on a permanent owner will be at a later date.

Arlington National Cemetery is both the most hallowed burial ground of our Nation's fallen and one of the most visited tourist sites in the Washington, DC, area. A fully operational national cemetery since May 1864, Arlington National Cemetery conducts an average of 27 funerals each workday--final farewells to fallen heroes from the fronts of Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as to veterans of World War II, the Korean conflict, Vietnam and the Cold War and their family members.
The grounds of Arlington National Cemetery honor those who have served the nation and their families by providing a sense of beauty and peace. The rolling green hills are dotted with trees (some that are older than the cemetery itself), monuments and gardens throughout the 624 developed acres of the cemetery. This impressive landscape serves as a tribute to the service and sacrifice of every individual and their families laid to rest within the hallowed grounds of Arlington National Cemetery.
Chinese cemetery - Manila
Een wandeling in de straten van de Chinese begraafplaats is onthutsend. We kuieren traag en onbegrijpend doorheen een echte dodenstad. We zien er de laatste rustplaats van veel welstellende Chinezen in Manilla. in lange lanen zie je door het vele traliewerk de sarcofagen van hun dierbaren opgesteld in huizen en soms riante villa's. Soms staat de wagen van de overledene voor de deur geparkeerd. Sommige huisjes hebben airconditioning, stromend water, keuken, douches en een brievenbus ... In de weekends en op speciale feestdagen komen familieleden hier samen om gezellig bij elkaar te zijn en om te eten en te drinken ... met hun geliefde doden ... dit allemaal om de doden nog een goede 'eeuwige' tijd te bezorgen ...
De begraafplaats kent tevens een crematorium waar dagelijks crematies plaatsvinden van afgestorven Chinezen, maar ook van Filippino`s.
A true city of the dead, the Chinese Cemetery is an amazing area where the dead are venerated in houses instead of graves, and where the family still comes by regularly for more than just laying fresh flowers.
The big street still had all the noise and pollution that can be found in many parts of Manila.

The Walnut Grove Cemetery, located approximately 15 miles east ofBatesville on Walden Road, just off Arkansas Highway 25 in northeast Independence County, is being nominated to the National Register of Historic Places under Criterion A, Criteria Consideration D, for its significance as a remnant ofthe mid-19th century development period oflndependence County and as the only resource remaining of the community of Walnut Grove. Historically, the cemetery was located on the Old Military Road (Southwest Trail). Until about 1875, most ofthe burials there were of persons related to each other by blood or by marriage. Those families were Hogan, Churchill, Moore, Walden, and Jernigan. Later known burials included Black River Township neighbors and friends of the earliest settlers. The families buried in the Walnut Grove Cemetery site were eyewitnesses to a century of American history, spanning the period from just after Arkansas statehood up until modem times.

Jewish Cemetery, Balassagyarmat, Hungary
Balassagyarmat is a small city near the Slovakian border in Northern Hungary. Balassagyarmat had a flourishing Jewish community. It was a basically middle-class community. Most of the buildings of the Main street housed the wealthy Jewish merchants of the city. The community built a splendid synagogue. It was the second largest synagogue in Central Europe. Nazi troops used the synagogue as an ammunition magazine. They blow the temple up before retiring from the city. The ruins of the synagogue stood in the middle of Balassagyarmat until the 1950s. The Communist government ordered to blow up the rest of the building.
4000 perished in the Holocaust and only 136 returned to the city. They moved away soon.
The well kept cemetery dates back to the 18th century. Locals are taking good care of it.
