Mt. Woods Cemetery is locally significant and eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places under Criterion C: Landscape Architecture, as an excellent example of the ""rural cemetery"" movement, and under Criterion C: Art, for its collection of locally significant examples of antebellum, Victorian-era , and early to mid-20th century funerary art, design and commemoration. Since its primary significance is attained from distinctive design features, Mt. Woods Cemetery also meets Criteria Consideration A : Religious Properties, since a portion of the cemetery is owned by a religious institution, and Criteria Consideration D: Cemeteries. The period of significance begins in 1831 with its first interment when it was part of the Woods family cemetery, and ends c.1950, reflecting the period when new interments, and thus the erection of funerary art, waned significantly.

Sinking Springs Cemetery in Abingdon, VA. I've passed this cemetary dozens and dozens of times and never stopped until now, almost 17 years since I first passed it. I do not really photograph grave yards, I came to the sole purpose of photographing a Kappa Sigma grave stone.
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.

Luper Cemetery is near Eugene, Lane County, Oregon, and is one of the earliest pioneer cemeteries in the southern Willamette Valley. The site is also known as Irving Cemetery or Baker Cemetery. The first grave site was in 1857, although records indicate that the cemetery began in 1859, when land was donated by Thomas and Elizabeth Baker. The cemetery is named for James Luper, an 1852 pioneer from Illinois, who settled nearby in an area known for a time as Luper, Oregon. James Luper owned the land surrounding the cemetery. A grave site location service has identified 160 graves, many of pioneer families. (www.lupercemetery.com/)
This burial ground, which extends along Pin Oak Creek, has served the rural Pin Oak settlement, as well as the surrounding Gause, Hanover and Liberty communities. Most of the area settlers, the earliest of whom were here by the 1850s, took advantage of the area's fertile soil and engaged in agriculture. Many early Pin Oak settlers were related, with a number coming from Tennessee, Kentucky, Georgia, and Morgan and Marshall Counties in Alabama. the settlers established a school prior to the Civil War, which served Pin Oak until it consolidated with the Milano Independent School District in 1949.
This property was deeded by Walker P. Perkins for use as a cemetery in 1896, when he conveyed it to trustees W.H. Spinks, R.T. Littleton and John Ditto. the earliest known burials, of Charles Shafer and then James D. Faubion, occurred in 1861, though there may be older unmarked graves. Cemetery features include vertical stones, curbing and obelisks. Among the interred are veterans of conflicts dating to the Civil War.
The Pin Oak community began to decline after World War II, as many residents followed the national trend in moving to urban areas for employment opportunities. The cemetery deteriorated, but concerned family members worked to preserve the burial ground. Today, residents of the deceased continue to care for the cemetery, which serves as a record of the pioneering men and women of the Pin Oak community. (2008) (Marker No. 15728)

100+ year old live oak tree in Glenwood Cemetery in Houston, Texas. Some of the grave markers date back to the 1840's. If only this tree could talk.
This tombstone is of a gondolier who passed away. If you look close, you'll see a small gondola on the tomb. Also, each grave has a photo of the deceased along with small momentos, flowers, etc.
We saw many groupings of tombs: nuns were buried together in the same area, priests, mariners, and noble people. It was interesting to see the groupings.

Bonaventure Cemetery is a semi-rural cemetery located on a scenic bluff of the Wilmington River, east of Savannah, Georgia.
The cemetery became famous when it was featured in the 1994 novel Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil by John Berendt, and in the movie, directed by Clint Eastwood, based on the book. It is the largest of the city's municipal cemeteries, containing nearly 160 acres (0.65 km2).
The cemetery is located on the site of a plantation originally owned by John Mullryne. On March 10, 1846, Commodore Josiah Tattnall, Jr., sold the 600-acre (2.4 km2) Bonaventure Plantation and its private cemetery to Peter Wiltberger. Major William H. Wiltberger, the son of Peter, formed the Evergreen Cemetery Company on June 12, 1868. On July 7, 1907 the City of Savannah purchased the Evergreen Cemetery Company, making the cemetery public and changing the name to Bonaventure Cemetery.
Something about the arrangement and light around these tombs draws me to shoot them again. Locksbrook Cemetery is pretty big and rather run down. Near my house, it makes for a peaceful diversion on the way to the shops.
There are a couple of monochrome versions of this view in my collection.
Mulkey Pioneer Cemetery is a small historic cemetery located in the south hills of Eugene, Oregon, United States, in the Hawkins Heights portion of the Churchill neighborhood. The hilltop, with sweeping views of west Eugene, the Willamette Valley, the Coburg Hills, and the Cascades, was first used as a cemetery in 1853. The cemetery property was deeded to the Bailey Hill School District in 1891. Management was taken over by the Mulkey Cemetery Association in 1925. The Association still maintains the land, and became a 501(c)3 nonprofit corporation in 2008. The cemetery is located at 3335 South Lambert Street. (www.mulkeycemetery.org/)

The family of this name settled on the Chippawa creek in 1789 and one of their
original log houses still stands. They were of “Pennsylvania Dutch” blood and were
loyal to the Crown in the Revolution and the war of 1812. The spelling of the name has
been altered during the elapsed century and “Miseners” are numerous in Welland county. (Niagara Historical Society 1910)
