The cemetery contains many of the graves of the founding families of White Oak Flats / Gatlinburg such as the Ogles who built the first home here and the Reagan's and as you'll see by the headstones that some of the women's name have both names. The easiest access to the cemetery is to enter The Village and follow signs to the restrooms and once you reach that just follow the paved road to the right of the restrooms and within a few yards there you'll be.

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.

River View Cemetery was established in 1869, by civic leaders of Aurora, Indiana, and is identified with the social history of the town's development from being an Ohio River frontier outpost to the maturing community of commerce and wealth in the later half of the 19th century. The original thirty-acre plat of River View Cemetery was professionally designed in the recognized style of the ""rural"" cemetery movement, a declaration of the town's progress and material capacity. Thus, River View Cemetery demonstrates significance on local, state and national levels. With minimal exceptions, headstones and monuments in the original plat date from the cemetery's founding in 1869 to the middle of the 20th century. Additions of architecture and burial plots are characteristic to their respective periods and otherwise complement the historic scale and character. A twelve-acre 1945 expansion to the cemetery is distinguished from the original plat and does not intrude upon its context or character. With the modern expansion being the place of most contemporary burials, the area of original location maintains its integrity of design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling and association, therefore meeting National Register Criteria A, C and Criteria Consideration D (for a cemetery). River View Cemetery has statewide significance as one of Indiana's early examples of a professionally designed landscape. The cemetery was an out-of-the-ordinary commission for noted regional architect William Tinsley, which also contributes to the statewide significance of the property.

Nunhead Cemetery was the last of London’s big 7 I visited in my initial run (for those counting there’s one more, but at the time of writing covid restrictions mean I can’t plan a visit to the last one yet) and I saved one of the best to last. There’s a huge variety of spectacular monuments over a huge area on all the main paths, but the real pleasure was getting off the main paths to find numerous hidden gems on many of the lesser used woodland paths.
Being a little more out of the way than some of the other magnificent seven this is one that could be passed over, or overlooked, but that would be a mistake as it easily holds up with some of the best free to enter cemeteries I’ve done.
Memphis, Tennessee
Once Memphis fell under Union control, it became a convenient location to care for the sick and wounded troops flooding in from surrounding areas. General hospitals capable of caring for thousands of men at a time were set up in and around the city. A board of officers who purchased 32 acres northeast of the city chose the cemetery site. It was originally known as Mississippi River National Cemetery. At the end of the war, burials included reinterments from camps and hospitals throughout the region.
Memphis has the second-largest group of unknowns interred in any national cemetery. The large quantity of unknowns may be attributed to the long interval between battlefield burial and reinterment at Memphis National Cemetery. Often, the crude wood markers that identified original burials had been removed or deteriorated to the point where they were no longer legible. As soldiers were not required to carry personal identification, it was often difficult to determine the identity of the remains.
Memphis National Cemetery is also the burial place of the victims of one of the nation's most tragic maritime disasters—the explosion of the USS Sultana. On April 23, 1865, after undergoing boiler repairs, the vessel had picked up a number of Union prisoners of war released from Andersonville prison in Georgia and Cahaba prison in Alabama. The captain, a part owner of the vessel, was paid $5 a head for enlisted men and $10 for officers, so he did not baulk when the steamer was overloaded with passengers. The USS Sultana was certified to carry 376 passengers, but it carried well over 2,000 soldiers anxious to return home.
The steamer left Vicksburg and reached Memphis on the evening of April 26, where the passengers heard the news of President Lincoln's assassination. From Memphis, the ship stopped at a coaling station on the Arkansas side of the river, bound for Cairo, Ill. About 2 a.m. a boiler exploded and the blast toppled the smokestack and cut the deck in two. Many men were killed instantly by the fire and steam, others began going over the side. Many of the wounded were put over the side to avoid the inferno, only to drown miles away. Only about 800 persons survived.

Chinese cemetery - Manila
Lane with graves
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.
