I usually get weird looks when I tell people I love cemeteries. Most people think that my fascination with cemeteries is a little creepy. A day out on the town often involves some visit to a cemetery, large or small.
Or sometimes hilarious. This is probably one of my favorite tombstones of all time. Highgate Cemetery, London.
Cemeteries are full of history, the older the better. When exploring your local cemetery, you can find the tombstones of the people that founded your town. The people streets are named after. You start to notice the changes in styles over time. Wonder why they use lambs on almost all child graves. Find those who may have died during great epidemics like the Spanish Flu in 1918. Or find some amazing epitaphs, which have kind of gone out of style in the last decades.
Since I love cemeteries so much, I’ve decided to share them with you. Each one of these posts contain something about a cemetery or a tomb.
