Purity, Chastity. Maria, a website visitor, sent me the following information:
"The lily has been used to marking the graves of young martyrs who died preserving their virginity and purity. Sometimes it is just a symbol of their youth and virtue, but sometimes it used as an indication of how they died."
Shari G. also sent me the following info about this symbol:
"I just wanted to add that the lily, with its symbolism of virginity, has been one of the symbols typically associated with the Virgin Mary. Paintings of the Annunciation and of Mary with the baby Jesus usually feature the lily, reinforcing the Christian belief in her virginity."

A cat in the cemetery of the Tomb of Sultan Mahmut II. We passed it on the way to the Grand Bazaar, and stopped in as our guide mentioned there were some interesting tombs there.
Highgate Cemetery opened in 1839, as one of the "Magnificent Seven" - a series of modern cemeteries to hold the bodies of London's dead. The original design was by Stephen Geary, and the cemetery comprises of two parts - the East and West parts. The West Cemetery holds the Egyptian Avenue and Circle of Lebanon.
I found this while riding to the ruins in Costa Maya, Mexico. It is a local cemetery. The blue graves are Mayan graves. I understand the blue has great significance to the Mayans.
A couple of characters from West Norwood Cemetery Open Day 2011....the lady on the left was actually a funeral director.
Logtown, a vanished mining community, was located just outside of what is now the boundaries of Jacksonville, OR. In the 1860's and 1870's Logtown featured a livery stable, store, meat market, church, hotel, three saloons and two Chinese stores.
When miners left for other goldfields, the buildings were abandoned. A yellow rose planted on the former homesite of John and Maryum McKee (their headstone is included in this photoset) and now located inside the fence of the Logtown Cemetery has survived for over a hundred years.
The first burial here was recorded in 1862 and this cemetery is still in active use today.
Stephanie's Opa. It's interesting that he's supposed to have a Unitarian Universalist chalice instead of a cross on his headstone. And he did when the headstone was first placed. At some point, it was changed to a Christian cross.
The entrance to the small cemetery. It's a peaceful plot, separated from the main property by a grass-covered path.
