Paddington Cemetery is a mid sized cemetery in London. My personal highlight is it houses Michael Bond’s grave, who was the creator of Paddington Bear. Seeing his grave here, along with a fitting epitaph does have a poetically beautiful feel to it.
Even without that though it has a lot of variety for a cemetery of it’s side, with a large formal area of historic monuments and stones, an area containing a collection of more personal modern graves, and even a small rustic nature reserve area.
It’s borderline if it’s large enough to justify a visit on it’s own, but it’s a great extra to do once you’ve visited one of the nearby big cemeteries like Kensal Green or Brompton Cemetery.

Found this little cemetery on top of a hill amid the cornfields northeast of Des Moines. There was only a track through the fields to get to it, and it required 4-wheel drive. Lots of people named "Sams" are buried there, including many babies and children. The gravestones are so old that many are barely legible. It's a beautiful little spot, though--I would not mind being buried there! Very peaceful and fun to explore.
The bird is real.

Joe Byrd cemetery in Huntsville, TX. Also known as peckerwood cemetery. This is where inmates from the Texas prisons were buried when no family claimed them or the family didn't have the money to bury them. The X or EX on the marker indicated they were executed.
Cemeteries, for me, are interesting places-----not only historically but also in terms of the thoughts they often
prompt on life's brevity and vicissitudes. It was particularly poignant to pass by this spot in Lac-Megantic, Quebec, a
town scarred by a death-dealing tragedy.
Later note: this is my first photo to surpass one thousand views. Thanks for taking a look at ultrachool's photostream!
By day the vast extent of the Recoleta Cemetery becomes more evident. A virtual city of tombs, it is a great place to spend a few hours walking along it's streets and paths and investigating the elaborate resting places of the famous of Argentina. It's most famous occupant is Evita, who is buried in her family's tomb here. It is the Duarte Family tomb, and is easily found by spotting the crowds around it. Her husband, Juan Peron, was not buried here but rather in La Chicarita Cemetery in northern Buenos Aires.

Bowral Cemetery, with Hoya Fog Filters. I had just started reading Salem's Lot, which I hadn't read in a while, & it made me want to get some shots of cemeteries with these filters for some atmosphere.

Highgate Cemetery East was the first London Cemetery I visited after my interest in cemeteries started, and it ranks as one of my all time favourites. As you enter you enter your greeted by a huge array of impressive monuments, and there are more than a few famous names as you look around, including the monument to Karl Marx.
As you head deeper in it becomes incredibly rural, you could almost forget your in London. In the woods though is an unbelievably high number of headphones densely packed in the woods. There’s lots to see on the main paths, but the real joy comes when you wander down some of the less used paths and find one of many hidden sights to find. A must visit for any UK cemetery enthusiast.
From my walk from Leytonstone to Leyton via Manor Park.
The first pic is West Ham cemetery which is a pleasant enough space but not outstanding.
Pics 2 and 3 are a much more interesting place. Next divided by a wall is West Ham jewish cemetery. I believe you have to have special permission to get in but you can look into it from the other cemetery over the wall.
