There are some 100,000 people buried in the cemetery, many in mass graves.
This mass grave is covered by two large stone slabs.

The last of the Glen Orchy Campbells, the graves of Sir Gavin Campbell and his wife Lady Alma Graham are located at Finlarig Castle, Killin.
After taking in the displays in Kessingland church, I had a look round the graveyard.
It was mid afternoon & as it is winter the light was low and striking. I got a few striking shots wandering round and this was one of my favourites.
Confederate sailors' graves, flying the "Stainless Banner."
The Hunley was a Confederate submarine that sank Union sloop Housatonic in Charleston harbor, the first successful submarine attack. Unfortunately for the crew of the Hunley, it sank as well in the attack, with complete loss of life. The Hunley had sunk twice before during training runs, killing both of those crews, too. All of the three crews are buried here in Magnolia Cemetery.
The Stainless Banner was the second national flag of the Confederacy, after the Stars and Bars, which was too-often mistaken for the Stars and Stripes. The Stainless Banner was in turn too-often mistaken for a flag of surrender when there was no wind, so it was replaced by the "Blood-Stained Banner," which was similar but had a vertical red stripe at the right end.
Sint-Ludwigkapel.
De begraafplaatskapel St. Ludwig is een kapel in Vlodrop-Station in de gemeente Roerdalen in de Nederlandse provincie Limburg. De begraafplaatskapel ligt ten noorden van Vlodrop-Station in het bos ten westen van het voormalig Kolleg St. Ludwig in het Nationaal Park De Meinweg. Naast de kapel ligt de begraafplaats van het voormalig College St. Ludwig / Kolleg St. Ludwig. De begraafplaatskapel is gewijd aan Lodewijk van Toulouse.
In 1909 werd de begraafplaatskapel gebouwd, gelijktijdig met de bouw van het College St. Ludwig (een klooster met jongensinternaat van de paters Franciscanen), naar het ontwerp van de pater-architect Th. Borren. Op deze begraafplaats werden de paters-docenten, scholieren en andere bewoners van het College St. Ludwig begraven. Ook is er een Noorse piloot begraven die tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog in de buurt met zijn vliegtuig werd neergehaald. Tevens liggen er diverse bewoners van het gehucht Vlodrop-Station begraven die zijn overleden tijdens of vlak na de Tweede Wereldoorlog.
Met de verkoop van het College St. Ludwig aan de Stichting MERU/MVU in 1984 werd de begraafplaats en de begraafplaatskapel eigendom van Staatsbosbeheer.
In 2012 werd de begraafplaatskapel in opdracht van Staatsbosbeheer gerestaureerd. Er werd o.a. geadviseerd door de Monumentenwacht. Het gehele dak en een aantal verzakte muurdelen werden hersteld. De dakvlakken werden weer voorzien van natuurstenen leien. In de nabije toekomst zal het prachtige muurschilderwerk van het interieur weer worden hersteld.
De bakstenen kapel in neogotische stijl heeft een kruisvormig grondplan en wordt gedekt door een zadeldak met op de kruising een dakruiter.
Rock cut graves solid with ice at St Peter's Chapel Ruin at Heysham Head this lunchtime. It was about -3DegC.
These 6 graves are carved into the natural bedrock. Their exact date is uncertain, but they probably date to about the tenth century. All of them have socket holes, probably intended for timber crosses, at the head end.

Sigmund Neuberger, (or Sigmund Newburger), (25 February 1871 — 9 May 1911), otherwise known as famous illusionist the Great Lafayette, was the highest paid magician of his time. The pampered object of the Great Lafayette's affection was his dog Beauty, a perky terrier given to him as a pup by fellow conjurer and admirer Harry Houdini. Beauty had her own suite of brocaded rooms, ate five-course meals, and wore a diamond-studded collar. Beauty died four days before the opening of a show at the Empire Palace Theatre in Edinburgh. After initial resistance from Edinburgh City Council, Neuberger arranged for the dog to be buried in Piershill Cemetery. The Council agreed to provide a plot on the condition that Lafayette himself would be buried there upon his own death. Four days later in a freak accident, Lafayette was performing his signature illusion "The Lion's Bride", when a fault in a lamp above the performer caused a fire. The elaborate set went up in flames within minutes.
The audience, thinking that this was all part of the illusion, did not evacuate until the theatre manager signalled for the orchestra to play "God Save the King". Many of the company, however, were trapped on stage when the safety curtain was lowered and jammed, leaving only a small gap at the bottom, through which a strong draught of air fanned the flames into an inferno. Lafayette himself had ensured that the side-doors to the stage had been secured, to exclude unwanted interlopers and prevent the lion's escape.
Lafayette escaped but returned in a vain attempt to rescue his horse. He became trapped in the burning building and perished. Ten of his fellow players from the company were also killed in the fire. The theatre burned to the ground. The body of Lafayette was apparently soon found and sent to Glasgow for cremation. Two days after the fire, however, workers clearing the understage area found another body identically dressed as Lafayette. It transpired that the body at the crematorium was that of the illusionist's body double. On 14 May the urn containing the Great Lafayette's ashes was taken through Edinburgh, witnessed by a crowd estimated to number over 250,000, before being laid to rest in the paws of his beloved (and by then, stuffed) Beauty, at Piershill Cemetery.
