April 12, 2015 - For over 300 years this was the only burial ground permitted for Jews in Prague. The last burial occurred in 1787. It is thought that over 100,000 people were laid to rest here, due to lack of space bodies were buried one on top of the other and records indicate there are up to twelve layers.
Biloxi, Mississippi, two years after Katrina. Most tombstones have been cleaned up and replaced, but you can't replace the trees and atmosphere.
An unusual tombstone at Oak Grove Cemetery in La Crosse, Wisconsin, due to the fact that the cause of death for the deceased is inscribed on the stone. Martin was an 18-year-old deckhand aboard the rafting steamboat Bella Mac whose boiler exploded on April 7, 1882, seven miles south of La Crosse on the Mississippi River . . . claiming the life of Martin and eight others according to old La Crosse newspaper reports.
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.
Oak Hill Cemetery is one of Lane County's oldest and most beautiful historic cemeteries. Founded in 1850, Oak Hill is situated on a gentle hillside overlooking Fern Ridge Lake and the coast range of the Cascade Mountains. Deer, squirrels, numerous species of birds, and other wildlife are often seen in this quiet, pastoral setting. Although far from busy roadways, Oak Hill Cemetery can be easily accessed from the Eugene area (see Directions), since it is only two miles west of the Eugene city limits.
When originally founded, the cemetery was only one acre in size and was the burial site of many early settlers of Lane County, including John Bailey who donated the land and was buried here in 1895. Over a period of many years, the cemetery fell into disuse and became overgrown and was an easy target for vandals. But in the early 1970's, additional acreage was added and the cemetery was restored.
Presently, Oak Hill consists of approximately nine developed acres, including the original historic portion of the cemetery. With six additional acres still available for development, area families can be assured of having burial sites available for many decades to come (see Grave Pricing).
Unlike most rural, historic cemeteries, Oak Hill Cemetery is an "Endowment Care Cemetery," meaning that a percentage of the proceeds from each interment right that is sold are placed in an irreducible care fund. Only the interest from this fund can ever be used, assuring client families that Oak Hill will always be well maintained and will never again fall into a state of disrepair.

The Iowa Veterans Cemetery near Van Meter, Iowa. Very nice grounds and buildings but I hate "New" cemeteries with no trees. It could be 100 degrees out but it still feels cold.
A cemetery along route 550 in northwest New Mexico. The graves are mounded with dirt and covered with bright plastic flowers and small wooden crosses. Many local Dine/Navajo residents don't want cemeteries on their land, and instead bury their dead on private property owned by Anglos.

This is the oldest stone in Woodlawn Cemetery, Attleboro. Mr Sweet was obviously one of the transfers from the Old Kirk Yard when the railroad line went through..
