Canadian Cemeteries

People are interested in cemeteries for an assortment of reasons: local history, genealogy, and an enjoyment of religious artifacts and old things in general.

Vancouver’s Cemetery – Mountain View

I’ll probably find more links later. I started looking on Flickr and found enough to keep me busy awhile.

Why would you explore a cemetery, during the day when you can actually see what you’re looking at. Write about an adventure that happened while exploring an old cemetery.

Graveyard Posies

Graveyard posies

In a cemetery: “Persons are prohibited from picking flowers from any but their own grave.” Found in a local print newsletter this week.

Have you ever taken flowers from a cemetery? I have. Shocking? It isn’t really. Plastic flowers blow around and end up being dumped into the trash. They can’t be recycled unless someone comes along and reuses them. I did find it hard to sort through and pick out flowers that were still in good shape. I used to have new flowers once a month in a vase on my kitchen table, most or all of them from local cemeteries.

Do you think that was wrong or was it just thrifty recycling?
