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.

Cathcart relatives clean family cemetery on Sat. June 21, 2014. 7th generation Cathcart family descendent, Cathy Cathcart Burke shows her 9th generation grandchildren, Mary and Jason, the grave of their relative Robert John Cathcart in the old Cathcart Cemetery. Nearly hidden in the bushes at the rear of Cummins Park, the white picket fence enclosed area holds only a few gravestones, some badly broken. The Cathcart family, along with the Nicholson family were some of the earliest settlers in Bristol. Burke believes the cemetery is much larger, probably 30 or more graves along the St. Joe River land to the north outside of the fence. Some years ago, Burke worked with an experienced grave dowser from Chicago who indicated where additional graves were located. Burke has attempted the technique herself and has found indications of other graves located there. Robert Cathcart died after 1834, aged 86, and the last burial in the cemetery was probably in 1881. In the 1950s, vandals threw some of the tombstones in the river, which were never recovered. Post 143 of the Bristol American Legion dedicated a new marker there in 1956.On a recent Saturday, Burke enlisted her grandchildren to help her in caring for the neglected cemetery by cutting down brush and mowing the grounds. They all were proud to have been able to show respect by caring for the graveyard of their long-ago ancestors.

This accident claimed 1,012 lives, making it the deadliest maritime disaster in Canadian history.

Kensal Green Cemetery is one of London’s magnificent seven, and one of the greater discoveries I’ve made when ticking them off. I didn’t know a huge amount before heading up, but once up there I found a huge area, densely packed with headstones and monuments, and one of the greatest collections of old statues I’ve seen in any cemetery. Definitely one to prioritize if your looking to explore London’s historic cemeteries.
The psycho magpie on a headstone at Caloola cemetery on the Trunkey road, getting ready for take off.
Your intrepid photographer is about to casually take shelter behind a headstone as a precaution against possible serious injury, not that we were afraid of a mere bird, even a psycho one, with red beady eyes, screeching and making nasty snapping noises with its beak.
This is the 18-200 DX lens, with VR on, not that a shaking hand was a problem you understand.
This is another one of the beautiful statues at the Oak Cemetery in Ft. Smith. There's such pain and misery in their faces. I thought it was really moving.
Greenwood Cemetery open in 1869 after being converted from a farm, and covers 43 acres. It is on the Philadelphia Register of Historic Places. Benjamin Rush (a signer of the Declaration of Independence) lived on the farm in the late 1700s. Over the years, Greenwood's fortunes declined. The cemetery became a target for vandalism and many headstones were toppled and broken. Maintenance became sporadic and vegetation began to consume the cemetery. Only the front third of the cemetery is cleared enough to walk through unimpeded. The rear of the cemetery has reverted to forest with trees springing up through the middle of graves. It is not an unusual sight to see a headstone pinioned between two trees. The Knights of Pythias, upset over conditions at Greenwood, tried unsuccessfully to have their name removed from the cemetery. The court has appointed Gloria Boyd & Kevin Lynch custodians of the cemetery on a temporary basis. They are in charge of getting the grounds in repair and arranging burials. The decision on a permanent owner will be at a later date.
Silverton Cemetery is in the desert near the ghost town. Silverton was established in the 1880s after miners came to the region seeking silver. Lead and zinc was also found in the region. Most miners moved on to the larger centre of Broken Hill nearby and Silverton gradually dwindled towards becoming a ghost town. It has been maintained as a tourist destination. Located in far western New South Wales in Australia.
