Mission – I love cemeteries. I relish the quiet solitude and introspection that come from wandering grounds of beautifully laid-out cemeteries. I enjoy reading gravestone inscriptions and thinking about the life histories of those buried there. Yes, it’s sad when we bury a loved-one but cemeteries shouldn’t be places of only sadness. They are places of remembrance and reflection, honor and respect. They are places where we can speak to those who have passed on…and allow them to speak to us.
For years, I hid my love of cemeteries thinking other people would think I was weird…but not anymore. With this website, I do my imperfect best to share my love of cemeteries with you.
Accuracy of Information – Researching cemeteries is often like detective work. Though I attempt to be as accurate as possible with the information I convey, my research sometimes uncovers contradicting sources. Descriptions, maps, directions, dates, and specific details given on this website and through any resources associated with this website might vary from reality and/or other researchers’ conclusions.
