Juedischer Friedhof Neckarsulm
Adjacent (South) to Friedhof am Wald.
Dates from the late 19th/early 20th Century. The people here are a very mixed bag; there are English and Irish names, but there are also Germans, Pole and Czechs.
A gravestone for the family, but also a separate, identical, stone for the son who died young.

While visiting my grandmother in Wisconsin, we drove through one of the local cemeteries, Evergreen Cemetery, where certain family members are buried. My father has visited said cemetery a great many times, but has never seen deer before.
And this time we spot three: a mother and two juveniles. Very lovely.

Another cemetery today - Carisbrooke on the Isle of Wight. Another day of strong light.
It looks as though the lychens and other mosses were cleaned from these stones at some point (shame, I like them), revealing the white stone beneath.
During the Month of the Dead
Brompton Cemetery is one of the 'Magnificent Seven' cemeteries, formed after an act of Parliament for the interment of the dead.
The site proposed for this cemetery was surrounded by fields and market gardens and was bordered to the west by the Kensington Canal. The majority of the land, which belonged to Lord Kensington, was acquired by August 1839. An additional c 2ha on the south side was bought from the Equitable Gas Company. The land, formerly the site of brickworks and market gardens, was flat and lacked the varied topography of Highgate (qv) and Nunhead (qv) Cemeteries. It was described as 'having no natural attraction whatever ... not a tree and scarcely a shrub adorn the place'...in 1838 the Board of Directors decided to hold a public competition. This was won by Benjamin Baud (1807-75)...To overcome the constraints of the site his scheme relied on architectural drama for its impact. Brompton was a classical conception with dramatic vistas and spaces, in a rural setting...Building work started in 1839 and the cemetery was consecrated in June 1840, the first burial taking place a few weeks later. The building works and the landscaping were far from complete however and the North Lodge had to be used as a temporary chapel, the Anglian Chapel being eventually completed in 1842. Baud's extravagant ideas and a slow initial uptake of burial plots appears to have led the directors into financial difficulties. Baud's designs were therefore altered, building specifications were skimped, and serious faults appeared in the catacombs; in 1843 Baud was dismissed.
[Historic England]
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.

Both myself & the friend that was with me agreed that something about the design of this tombstone makes us think of the Confederate Flag...maybe it's the "X" on the top?
