Description: Comb graves in Hayter Cemetery, 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.

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.

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 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.

Greenwood Cemetery is located in the "cemetery district" at the north end of the Canal Street streetcar line. One of the oldest cemeteries in the city, it was founded in 1852 as an overflow cemetery for neighboring Cypress Grove Cemetery. (Both were founded by the Firemen's Charitable & Benevolent Association.)

 

As it was founded by the FCBA, there are a number of monuments/tombs of social groups located here in Greenwood, and across the street at Cypress Grove. Among the ones in Greenwood (mostly located at the southern end of the cemetery facing City Park Avenue), you'll find: the Confederate Soldiers' Monument, which houses the remains of approximately 600 unclaimed Confederate soldiers; the Firemen's Monument; the Benevolent & Protective Order of Elks; and the Police Crypt.

 

A handful of notable (in their time) folks are also buried here, including some jazz musicians, Major League Baseball players, Confederate soldiers, and John Kennedy Toole, who wrote A Confederacy of Dunces (which won a Pulitzer).

 

This is an active cemetery so, should you visit, please be respectful of funerals and, as a general rule, always be respectful of the families who have members buried here.
