Description: Comb grave in Honey Springs Cemetery in Overton Co., Tenn.
Date: February 11, 2013
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.

extensively.
From today's paper:
The “adoption” is official — Palmyra Cemetery on West Cherry Street is no longer an “orphan.”
by BARBARA MILLER, The Patriot-News
An agreement reached between Palmyra Borough and two churches whose previous congregations had ties to the cemetery was approved by Lebanon County court last month.
The pact grants the borough control over the property and its assets of about $40,000, and resolves a lawsuit the borough filed in 2006.
Little change is anticipated, since this is the third season the borough has been maintaining the property, which mainly involves mowing, Borough Manager Roger Powl said.
The Palmyra Cemetery Association was a nonprofit corporation formed in 1867 by members of two congregations that are ancestors of the current Trinity United Church of Christ and Palm Lutheran Church.
At some point, the association ceased to exist, and the last meeting minutes found were from 1993, said John Feather, attorney for the churches.
Volunteers from the two churches maintained the property until 2003, when a dispute arose and the churches decided it wasn’t their responsibility. Without a caretaker, the borough asked the court to decide who is responsible for the property.
The borough decided in 2010 to ask the court to give it the power to oversee the property and its assets, and the settlement was supported by the churches, Feather said.
Council is discussing whether to form a committee to oversee the cemetery, Powl said, which could become more of a need if council decides it wants to sell more burial plots. But so far, he said, the sentiment is not to operate a cemetery as much as to be the caretaker of what’s there.
Feather said there is a provision in the agreement that would allow the borough to sell the unused property to generate funds to operate the cemetery.
Approximately a half-acre hasn’t yet been used for burials.
“The mindset of council is to leave the land as is and maintain it,” Powl said, since the borough has no idea how many additional plots might have been sold. “The records are very poor,” Powl said, adding the borough has asked funeral homes to notify it when someone is to be buried there.
The borough is considering whether to replace curbing and sidewalk around the cemetery, which would cost about $40,000.
To move or sell the rest of the cemetery, the borough would have to seek court approval, Feather said.

Took my camera to a local cemetery after dark. Came back and played with the colors a little.
Despite the darkness of this shot, I was motivated by a wonderful funeral today, for a 90-year-old woman who used to walk all over town, making friends with everyone. Very community-minded, she said that she'd started the local food pantry. The funeral service consisted mostly of telling stories, repeating things that she had said, and laughing with her wonderful sense of humor. The funeral director remarked that he'd never experienced such a joyful remembrance.
The Commonwealth War Graves Commission meticulously maintains the graves of hundreds of thousands of soldiers who have given their lives in service to their countries across the globe.
However far these men have been buried from home, there is an effort to recreate the feel of from where they come.
I've shed buckets of tears in War Graves sites over the years; Kanchanaburi was no different. These men went to hell on earth, but some of them never came back. I can only hope that all of them have found peace now.

Interesting and unusual design. Most tree-like markers are from Woodsmen of the World, but this isn't one (and there weren't many at Riverside)
This was taken at the Cemetery on the Yale Campus... Messed with just a bit by me...

MUSIC, when soft voices die,
Vibrates in the memory;
Odours, when sweet violets sicken,
Live within the sense they quicken.
Rose leaves, when the rose is dead,
Are heap'd for the belovèd's bed;
And so thy thoughts, when thou art gone,
Love itself shall slumber on.
