Photo taken in a Jewish Cemetery on Jamesville Ave. in Syracuse, NY.
Lillian's grave was found off to the side under some branches. With the little lamb on top I figured it must have been a child's grave. I looked her up in ancestry and found her in the 1920 census. The census was taken in January and she was marked as being 3 1/2. She was born in NY, but her parents were listed as being born in Russia. I was hoping to find an obit, but was unable to locate one.
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.

Description: Comb grave in McFerrin Cemetery in Overton Co., Tenn.

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.

This was one the strangest things I think I've seen. In just a little cut out notch of a bunch of woods are headstones. It's not taken care of at all...and just really looks out of place. In this shot I am standing on the road. These first headstones are in much danger of being run over!

Greenwood Cemetery is eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places under Criterion A for its association with Canon City's Exploration/Settlement and early Social History. The cemetery is also eligible for listing under Criterion C for its representative collection of funerary Art of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Criteria Consideration D applies as the resource derives its primary significance from its association with settlement, social history, and funerary art as defined by Criteria A and C since the founding of the community. Greenwood Cemetery is the final resting place for some of Canon City's earliest and most influential settlers, including those involved in shaping the local economy, politics and culture. With miners, politicians, prisoners, religious leaders, socialites, fraternal members, veterans and business people interred within the grounds, the individuals and families buried in Greenwood represent a cross-section of early of Canon City development and society. Greenwood cemetery also contains significant examples of funerary art that embody the prevalent aesthetic characteristics of traditional funerary design during the period of significance, which often also reflect each individuals' fraternal associations, spiritual beliefs, military service and social position. Documentation and interpretation of these important aspects of Greenwood Cemetery can provide further contextual understanding of the early development of Canon City.

Rookwood Cemetery (officially named Rookwood Necropolis) is the largest multicultural necropolis in the Southern Hemisphere, located in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. Rookwood is also considered to be a suburb, close to Lidcombe railway station about 17 kilometres west of the Sydney central business district.
It is estimated that approximately one million people have been buried at Rookwood, which covers an area of over 300 hectares. The "Friends of Rookwood Inc" is a voluntary organisation dedicated to preserving the site. As the largest Victorian era cemetery still in operation in the world, Rookwood is of significant national and historical importance.
Some older sections of Rookwood are overgrown with a riot of plants, early horticultural plants, some now large trees or groves, as well as an interesting array of remnant indigenous flora. This results in quite an eclectic mix of flora to be found within the necropolis.
