On our way back from skiing my mom and I decided to stop of in Genoa for drink at the oldest saloon in Nevada. After our beer we headed down to the Genoa Cemetery to smoke a joint before going back to my aunt and uncles house in Carson City.
Xcaret Eco Park on the Riviera Maya in Mexico.
The Mexican Cemetery at Xcaret is one of my favourite areas of the park. I don't think it's a real cemetery, although I wonder if families have put forward to have their people featured ...
But it really does illustrate Mexican graves, which are wildly imaginative, and representative of the deceased as an individual. Day of the Dead is a very important festival in Mexico and Central America. Here, the deceased ancestors remain a vital part of the living family.

Looking in the sexton records, the sexton put them down as "Eugene" and "Katrine..nee Tays"...the anglisized versions of their names. Was it the person who typed and transcribed the records who did that or was the sexton at the time not German? Who knows. For all I know, I could be full of shit. Anywho
The upside down star is another Drudenfuss, to ward off evil spirits, etc. Plus, it's really cool looking.
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.
Each and every cemetery was designed with its individual designs. Every cemetery has a design like logo.
All are constructed on 16th - 17th century
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.

Kensal Green Cemetery is one of London’s magnificent seven, and one of the greater discoveries I’ve made when ticking them off. I didn’t know a huge amount before heading up, but once up there I found a huge area, densely packed with headstones and monuments, and one of the greatest collections of old statues I’ve seen in any cemetery. Definitely one to prioritize if your looking to explore London’s historic cemeteries.
