Answer 1

I'm with you, I Love cemetery's. I love the dates on the tombstones and try to think what this person was like in 1859. I see at a lot of the older cemetery's the person only lived to 40 yrs old and a lot of children died young. But it can be a quiet, relaxing and beautiful place to take a walk and think about life, and remember not to life too seriously when you see how young these people were. We rush our lives sometimes without stopping to smell the roses or walking in a quiet cemetery. It's also great because a lot of people are not around and i get a feeling of peace walking around looking at the names and dates..

Answer 2

I have been to some of the cemeteries in the Cades Cove are of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. If you go to the Smokey's Check out the Cades Cove Loop Road and stop by the church cemeteries. It is sad to see that years ago there were no cures for simple illnesses. You just died. Sadder yet is seeing the graves with the little lambs on top of the tombstones, which signifies a child's death.

Answer 3

I do, although where I live there aren't too many (Vancouver Canada), but in a small peninsula off of one of the Suburban areas of where I live is a place called Point Roberts, which is actually part of Washington State, but it isn't connected physically to that State (the border goes through a Bay, and this little peninsula hangs into Washington), there is a little cemetery that has mostly Scandinavian names in it and the headstones go back to the early 1800's.

Answer 4

It is creepy, but your actually looking at a final resting place of another who was once living. You are not alone, one day we will have one, unless you prefer to be cast out in the wind, it would be cheaper! I'm sure the cost of a headstone like the extremely old ones out there would cost a fortune to make today. If you get buried in a Jewish cemetery, though, it is sacrilegious & couldn't be destroyed, ever. With the population the way it is, they are running out of room. Can you just imagine the above ground mosuliums in New Orleans that got destroyed? How awful, but nevertheless, interesting, how humans have their resting place.

Answer 5

I also like looking at them. Whenever I go on a road trip and have a little extra time I will drive around little towns until I find a cemetary. They are very facinating. I also look at the different tombstones.

Answer 6

I love to hang around the old family cemetery, my kids have actually crawled around in this when they were babies.
it is a fun way to connect with the past

Answer 7

I love to . It is so amazing to see if you know anyone and when they died and if children had died with them. It is interesting to think about the struggles the men went through and the women in the Early 1800's.

Answer 8

I love to go graveyard hunting, some interisting things have happened to me as I have walked through some cemetaries, I love the thrill. IM' me and I'll tell you some of the interisting things that have happened Natedawg121

Answer 9

Thats odd. I have friends who like to go to cemetaries to get high. I think that is pretty sad. But hey? What can you do?

I'm editing this now. I didn't read your subtitle thingy. Thats interesting actually. Like is a vapor. All flesh is grass, fading away.

Answer 10

I find the old old cemetaries interesting, I have seen headstones that told how they died...from drinking warm ale, or breathing the cold night air (must have been very cold that night).
