“Forrest Home” pioneer cemetery.

A patch of self-maintaining white irises that are just beginning to bloom. Amid the irises is a marble obelisk-style gravestone that bears the name “Sarah.” A few scattered gravestones in the background. This small cemetery was in active use from the 1860s to the 1980s, but only 9 of 67 graves are from after 1950.

In front of me is a grassy area with a few gravestones. They are very old and dark. A little further away you can see a red brick building. The small cemetery is surrounded by tall trees. The leaves of a chestnut tree protrude into the picture from above. Behind them, the sun shines through the red leaves of another tree. A peaceful place.

A tree trunk in the foreground on the right, out of focus. A gravestone can be seen behind it. It is pointed at the top. Behind it are a few more. The small cemetery is bordered by tall, green trees. The sun falls on the cemetery, the gravestone in front casts a long shadow in my direction.

A pretty church with a lawn in front of it. There are various gravestones on it. Green leaves/trees can be seen everywhere. This reformed church was built in the 13th century and served as a burial place for members of the von Wedel family. At the end of the 13th century, the church was built with bricks in a monastery format as a hall church. In the 15th century, the cross-vaulted choir was added, extending the nave by 5.5 metres to the east across its entire width. A tower can be seen on the left, followed by the nave with white-framed arched windows.

View through greenery. The focus is on a light-coloured gravestone with a black ‘pointed roof’. The sun falls on the gravestone.

The image depicts a pathway through a cemetery, characterized by rows of aged and weathered gravestones and mausoleums on either side. The pathway is lined with stone and brick structures, some of which feature architectural elements like battlements, suggesting a historical or gothic style. The sepia tone of the image enhances its old-time feel, making the cemetery appear more solemn and possibly abandoned. Above, the sky is partly cloudy, adding to the atmospheric and perhaps melancholic mood of the setting.

I've got some pics from Alton, Illinois cemetery where the groundhogs have been digging up graves (this was 2022 or so).

The news even covered it.

There are two cemeteries in Madisonville, KY where the groundhogs have dug up body parts and clothing.
(got pics of those, too)

These are all "natural" burials, pre vaults.

"Death is A Door" for #doorsday

"Death is only an old door
Set in a garden wall
On gentle hinges it gives, at dusk
When the thrushes call
Along the lintel are green leaves
Beyond the light lies still;
Very willing and weary feet
Go over that sill
There is nothing to trouble any heart;
Nothing to hurt at all.
Death is only a quiet door.
In an old wall."
- Nancy Byrd Turner (1880-1971)

Cemeteries are incredible testaments to how much people love one another. Every brick laid, every statue carved, every flower left, is an act of love for someone who has slipped away into the next room.
Hugs and warm wishes to you all.

Grand monuments in the Necropolis, Glasgow's first major Victorian cemetery. Opened in the 1840s, it marked a shift in burial practices in the growing city from people being interred in small burial grounds surrounding local churches to the use of large centralised cemeteries.

In total, there are about 3,500 grave markers in the Necropolis, but around 50,000 people were buried here, so the majority lie in unmarked common graves like this one.

Love this flower memorial which is being created in the Necropolis, Glasgow's main Victorian cemetery. It marks a common grave where 8,094 people were interred. When visiting the Necropolis, it's easy to focus on the ornate monuments created for the upper echelons of Glasgow society set on the top of the hill and forget that this was a burial place for all.
