Went to a cemetery with my mother and did this quick sketch while she took some photos. (She's into genealogy and does it for a site called 'find a grave' or something like that.) Painted at home that evening.

The Kennecott Cemetery was utilized between the years of 1908 and 1938, coinciding with the industrial and domestic development of the Kennecott Mill Town. The cemetery is located south of the mill town site along the original access road, constructed before the arrival of the railroad. The burials represent the diverse population of Kennecott during that time period.

I don't know the significance of this alligator. He was lying there beside bricks that are presumably the remains of a grave-marker of some kind. Cedar Hill Cemetery, Vicksburg, Mississippi.
Located south of San Diego, the Santo Nino Cemetery is an important chronicle of a historic Duval County community. The northern half of the cemetery was donated by Vicente Gonzales, whose grandfather, Dionicio Elizondo, received a land grant called, "El Senor de la Carrera." The southern half of the cemetery was donated by Jose Maria Martinez Gonzales, who was the son of Julia Gonzales Garcia, an aunt of Vicente Gonzales. Their donation was a part of the historic "La Huerta" land grant. The family members of the two original grantees donated the land for this cemetery to keep their loved ones close to the land they loved and sacrificed for. At the time of the land grants, Duval County was still part of Mexico.
Unmarked graves with eroded and illegible grave markers predate the earliest marked burials. The oldest readable tombstone dates to June 19, 1908. This marker belongs to Eluterio Saenz Martinez, who was born on February 13, 1827. Another burial belongs to Maria Guillerma Garcia Solis, wife of Jose Maria Martinez Gonzales. Several veterans are interred here including those who fought in World War II, the Korean War and the Vietnam War. This cemetery has served Duval County families from the time it was part of Mexico, through the Republic of Texas, and finally as part of the 28th state of the United States. Santo Nino Cemetery is a reflection of the evolution of the area's history, resulting in an integrated cemetery with Anglo Americans and Mexican Americans laid to rest side by side. It has served the San Diego community as a final resting place for more than 100 years and continues to be used by the community. (2012) (Marker No. 70819)

Description: Partially dismantled comb grave in Jones Cemetery in Overton Co., Tenn.
Date: November 18, 2012
Creator: Dr. Richard Finch
Collection name: Richard C. Finch Folk Graves Digital Photograph Collection
Historical note: Comb graves are a type of covered grave that are often called "tent graves." The length of the grave was covered by rocks or other materials that look like the gabled roof or comb of a building. They were popular in the 19th and early 20th centuries. It is conjectured that these graves were covered to protect them from either weather or animals, or perhaps both. While comb graves can be found in other southern states, the Cumberland Plateau in Tennessee has the highest concentration of these types of graves.

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.

Swampscott Cemetery retains integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association, and meets criteria A and C for listing on the National Register of Historic Places, at the local level of significance. The cemetery qualifies for listing under Criterion A due to its strong association with the history of the town of Swampscott, which was set off from Lynn in 1852. Early burials in the area that is now Swampscott took place in Lynn's cemeteries. Swampscott Cemetery was established in 1852 as one of the first acts of the new community, and has continued to serve as the town's only cemetery for 160 years. The cemetery meets Criterion C as a well-preserved late 19th- and early 20th-century cemetery that reflects the evolving design of burial grounds and funerary monuments in New England during this period. The integration of natural and built elements is a reflection of the 19th -century rural cemetery movement as adapted to a municipal cemetery. While Swampscott Cemetery has four sections (A, B, C, and D) that reflect the chronological evolution of the grounds, only sections A, B, and C are included in this nomination. Section D, which is physically separated from the rest of the cemetery by Capen Road, is excluded because it postdates 1963, the end of the period of significance.

Hooge Chateau and its stables were the scene of very fierce fighting throughout the First World War. On 31 October 1914, the staff of the 1st and 2nd Divisions were wiped out when the chateau was shelled; from 24 May to 3 June 1915, the chateau was defended against German attacks and in July 1915, the crater was made by a mine sprung by the 3rd Division. On 30 July, the Germans took the chateau, and on 9 August, it and the crater were regained by the 6th Division. The Germans retook Hooge on 6 June 1916 and on 31 July 1917, the 8th Division advanced 1.6 Kms beyond it. It was lost for the last time in April 1918, but regained by the 9th (Scottish) and 29th Divisions on 28 September.
Hooge Crater Cemetery was begun by the 7th Division Burial Officer early in October 1917. It contained originally 76 graves, in Rows A to D of Plot I, but was greatly increased after the Armistice when graves were brought in from the battlefields of Zillebeke, Zantvoorde and Gheluvelt and the following smaller cemeteries:-
BASS WOOD CEMETERIES No.1 and No.2, ZILLEBEKE, on the East side of the Bassevillebeek, 1 Km South of Herenthage Chateau. They contained the graves of 48 soldiers from the United Kingdom who fell in December, 1917-March, 1918.
KOELENBERG GERMAN CEMETERIES, GHELUWE, close together on the South side of the Menin Road, in which were buried ten soldiers from the United Kingdom.
K.O.S.B. CEMETERY, GHELUWE, on the Menin Road, 1 Km West of Gheluwe. Here were buried, after the capture of Gheluwe by the 34th Division, in October, 1918, 18 soldiers from the United Kingdom, of whom ten belonged to the 1st/5th K.O.S.B.
LA CHAPELLE FARM, ZILLEBEKE, between Chester Farm and Blauwepoort Farm, where 17 soldiers from the United Kingdom were buried in February and March, 1915.
MENIN ROAD PILLBOX CEMETERY, ZILLEBEKE, between Herenthage Chateau and Gheluvelt, where 20 soldiers from the United Kingdom were buried in October, 1917.
NIEUWE KRUISEECKE CABARET CEMETERY, GHELUVELT, on the South side of the Menin Road, where 21 soldiers from the United Kingdom and one from Canada were buried in October, 1918.
PILLBOX CEMETERY, ZONNEBEKE, 500 metres North-East of Westhoek, which was used in October, 1917; there were buried in it 34 soldiers from Australia, 26 from the United Kingdom, two from Canada and one of the British West Indies Regiment.
SANCTUARY WOOD OLD BRITISH CEMETERY, ZILLEBEKE, within the wood and North-East of the present cemetery; there were buried in it, in 1915-1917, 50 soldiers from the United Kingdom (of whom 30 were unidentified) and four from Canada.
TOWER HAMLETS CEMETERY, GHELUVELT, between Gheluvelt and Bass Wood, on the West side of a row of "pillboxes" called Tower Hamlets; it contained the graves of 36 soldiers from the United Kingdom who fell in the winter of 1917-1918.
WESTHOEK RIDGE SMALL CEMETERY, ZONNEBEKE, in Westhoek village, "near the Area Commandant's pillbox and the A.D.S."; it was used in the autumn of 1917, and it contained the graves of 16 soldiers from Australia and six from the United Kingdom.
There are now 5,923 Commonwealth servicemen of the First World War buried or commemorated in this cemetery. 3,579 of the burials are unidentified, but special memorials record the names of a number of casualties either known or believed to be buried among them, or whose graves in other cemeteries were destroyed by shell fire.
The cemetery was designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens.
This cemetery contains the graves of several hundred French soldiers who died in the Battle of the Ourcq in September 1914. In addition to the individual graves, there are two mass graves with 534 bodies, 518 of which are unknown.

Christ Church Cemetery is right smack dab in the middle of Independence National Historical Park, or the area of downtown Philadelphia where all the revolutionary era historical stuff lives. In the background on the right, you can see the "We The People..." engraving on the front of the National Constitution Center, which I didn't visit on this trip but totally will some day.
The Christ Church Cemetery people charge you a couple of bucks to visit their site, but it's old and crumbling and interesting even if the markers are often too worn to read, and I didn't begrudge them their money for even a minute. Benjamin Franklin is buried here, as well many other revolutionary era notables and a handful of other Declaration-signers I don't recognize by name. The cemetery was founded in 1719.
