Brompton Cemetery is one of London’s magnificent 7. Being centrally located it makes an amazing free attraction to visit in London. It’s not as rural as some of the other magnificent 7, having a more formal park feel. The most memorable part though is it has some of the most amazing statues, monuments and mausoleums, including the central circle packed with gravestones, creating a spectacular sight.

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.

Mount Hope Cemetery is a historic cemetery in southern Boston, Massachusetts, between the neighborhoods of Roslindale and Mattapan. It was established in 1852 as a private cemetery, and was acquired by the city five years later. It is the city's first cemetery to be laid out in the rural cemetery style, with winding lanes. It was at first 85 acres (34 ha) in size; it was enlarged by the addition of 40 acres (16 ha) in 1929. Its main entrance is on Walk Hill Street, on the northern boundary.[2] It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 25, 2009.

Friends of Newark Cemetery Interpretation Centre is going to open these September 2010. The Heritage Lottery Fund grant (£50k) has been received and works have commenced in the East side former Chapel.These has been presented to a contractor to repair and fit out as appropriate. Technical documentation was prepared by our Architect, Ros Nicholson, for the works tender which was won competitively by Longthorne Limited of Derby.
The Chapel Interpretation Centre will now be fitted out with audio visual and interpretation boards, displays and DVD presentations which will be designed by James Fountain of Bazzoo. Text and ideas for display boards and leaflets etc are being provided by Friends of Newark Cemetery (FoNC). These design works have been running in parallel with the building works. It is anticipated that the boards would show information and images on the history of the Cemetery and Chapels, origins of the practice of burials/cremations etc, famous people buried in, or associated with, the cemetery and flora and fauna in the cemetery. It will also feature
pieces regarding the polish connections (Air Bridge and General Sikorski), the commonwealth war graves commission, the travelling community and the memorial to the fallen.

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.
