Found this strange little cemetery with ancient stuffed animals propped at all the grave sites.
The Groenesteeg cemetery in Leiden is originally a nineteenth-century cemetery.
After Emperor Napoleon decreed in 1811 that burials in churches were no longer permitted, plans were made in Leiden to establish a new cemetery for the wealthy bourgeoisie. A stronghold on the east side of the city was chosen for this purpose.
Since 1975, burials have no longer taken place at the cemetery and in 1981 the site, now a national monument, came into the hands of the municipality.
The chapel in Macclesfield cemetery stands guard over the graves surrounding it. I felt that this lovely old Gothic buiding needed a suitably Gothic victorianesque treatment.
Same old cemetery as the last one I uploaded.

Went to the old historic Sunnyside cemetery in Coupeville. The side of the road was filled with tons of wildflowers. The bokeh is old headstones, spooky.
"Until The Day Break and The Shadows Flee". I had recently revisited the Lakewood Cemetery Chapel on a rainy afternoon - better lighting than the sunny day on my last visit. I am still in awe of the 10-million piece mosaic construction, completed more than 100 years ago by teams of artisans completing pieces of it in Italy. Arguably the best representation of Byzantine architecture here in the North America, right here in Minneapolis. What an amazing, yet unknown treasure. Enjoy!
The General Cemetery in Spring Bank West the Western Cemetery now belongs to Kingston upon Hull City Council for its upkeep. The Council is also responsible for the General Cemetery but as you will see later it is very badly kept yet still visited by families to leave flowers.
My photos of General Cemetery will follow over the next few days.
The General Cemetery was opened in 1847. The cemetery was closed in 1972, and went into the hands of the Council. Some maintenance work has been undertaken more recently. But I could not see any on my visit on March 1st 2019.
There is so much history in here and I shall be going back!

Lancashire Cottage Cemetery was begun by the 1st East Lancashire (who have 84 graves in it) and the 1st Hampshire (who have 56) in November 1914. It was used as a front line cemetery until March 1916 and occasionally later. The cemetery was in German hands from 10 April to 29 September 1918 and they made a few burials in it during that spring and summer.
The cemetery contains 256 Commonwealth burials of the First World War. There are also 13 German war graves.
The cemetery was designed by Charles Holden.
