Streatham Cemetery is a large cemetery with a notable number of interesting and historic monuments to find in the large area it's spread over. A good way to spend an hour or two as part of a day exploring here and several other cemeteries in the area.
Masonic Cemetery (technically, I think it's Masonic Cemetery #1 & #2) is located on City Park Avenue in New Orleans near a number of other historic cemeteries. It's on a triangular plot bisected by Conti Street (perhaps the two halves are considered #1 & #2?). It was founded in 1865 by the Grand Lodge of the State of Louisiana Free and Accepted Masons.
Arlington National Cemetery is located in Virginia across the Potomac River from Washington D.C. The more than 600 acre site is home to brave patriots who gave their lives in our nation’s conflicts beginning with the Civil War. The cemetery was established during the Civil War on the grounds of Arlington House, which was the estate of Confederate general Robert E. Lee and his wife Mary Anna Custis Lee. Mrs Lee was the great-granddaughter of Martha Washington, George Washington’s wife.

This cemetery is up in the woods in the middle of Bear Mountain State Park, and served the families of Doodletown while the town was active, and even after (I saw a few headstones placed after the town was abandoned in the 50's). Some of the stones were so old they were just little nuggets that could hardly trip you if you walked past them. Most of the stones were from the late 1800's and early 1900's.
Okay, so this was odd. As we were walking around the cemetery, we saw a mail truck driving around. I guess he had to make some very special deliveries!
This cemetery, probably named for noted pioneer educator D. R. Wood, was established with the 1858 burial of Sarah E. Shipman, wife of prominent local rancher John K. Shipman. More than 20 additional burials were recorded before John Shipman deeded 11.5 acres here for cemetery, church, and school purposes in 1877. The cemetery contains grave sites of many area pioneer settlers and their descendants and veterans of the Civil War and World Wars I and II. Wood Cemetery remains active and is maintained by an association of descendants of persons buried here. (1994) (Marker No. 5896)
I was looking for the Westwood Memorial Cemetery in the same area but I ended up here on Wilshire Blvd and Sepulveda Blvd coincidentally. Got to see different sections inside the cemetery.
Part of this month's city daily photo theme day: city exchange. Taken at Historic Columbian Cemetery in Portland, Oregon.
The first burial in this cemetery was that of the Rev. William J. Kirkpatrick, a local Cumberland Presbyterian Minister, who died on May 1, 1867. Shortly after his death, a congregation organized by the Rev. W.G.L. Quaite was named in Kirkpatrick's honor, and a place of worship was constructed later near the gravesite. Land surrounding Kirkpatrick's grave was part of the plantation of Confederate veteran Major Henry Pannill. Pannill's son Joseph died in October 1867 and was buried near Kirkpatrick's gravesite. The following year Pannill deeded some of his land around the burial sites to trustees of the Kirkpatrick Cumberland Presbyterian Church.
Within the next decade the community of Telico grew up around the church building and cemetery. After the turn of the century, however, people began abandoning the village for the conveniences of the railroad town of Ennis (6 mi. W), and the cemetery fell into a period of neglect.
Telico Cemetery serves as a reminder of the hardships faced by area pioneers. Of the more than 300 known graves, 45 date before 1882 and almost half are of children under the age of ten. Since 1937 the Telico Cemetery Association has cared for the grounds. (1983) (Marker No. 7155)
Coconut vendor in Cemetery of Angel. As much as there was death in this cemetery there was also much life. A young woman mans this vendor of coconut sweets, something that would be unheard of in a US cemetery.

A segregated cemetery established in the early 1900s. It is the oldest African-American cemetery in Pinellas County, Florida.
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.
Ross Bay Cemetery is located at 1516 Fairfield Road in Victoria, British Columbia, on Vancouver Island, Canada. Many historical figures from the early days of the province and colony of British Columbia are buried at Ross Bay. The cemetery was opened in 1873.

L'Unione Italiana
The historic marker says:
L'Unione Italiana, founded in 1894 in Ybor City, institutionalized the Italian funeral in Tampa when in 1896 it purchased this property from the prominent African-American Armwood family and dedicated it as a cemetery. The first Italians were buried here in 1893. Also buried here is Blanche Armwood (1890-1939), a nationally known educator. The Italian cemetery includes a parcel belonging to the Societa de Mutuo Soccorso (Mutual Aid Society). Ceramic photographs on grave markers and tombstones inscribed in Sicilian and Italian pay homage to Sicily, where the stonecutters perfected their craft in granite and marble. A cherished set of rituals governed the Italian funeral. Hundreds of people walked in a cortege, often pausing for a final tribute in front of the deceased's house and the Italian Club where flags of Italy and the United States stood at half mast. A brass band led them to the cemetery followed by family and paesani (countrymen). This ritual celebrated the decedent's service to the community. In the early years, each club member contributed one dollar to the bereaved family. Later, the club established a $300 survivor benefit.
