You are right about the greater use of cremation in today's society without burial of the ashes and small gravestone. My great grandmother has such as small plot with a tiny stone with her name and vital dates. Of course, it also is possible to see cenotaphs for that type of situation as well. Expensive but sometimes done. Well, as I have said, be encouraged and yes, you will have a great blog continue.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29307953.post-73425945732509133202011-09-21T08:42:08.048-04:002011-09-21T08:42:08.048-04:00Midge,
I like the topic and your image is great. ...Midge,<br /><br />I like the topic and your image is great. <br /><br />I have learned a lot about cemeteries and headstones / footstones from reading your blog. Each time I visit a cemetery, after reading your blog, I view that visit differently.<br /><br />I used to just take pictures of the headstones, like on a mission to fulfill a Find-A-Grave request. But it is more about "behind" the gravestone. Look all the way around the stone. There may be hints or other information about the person. Look to the surrounding stones, maybe family members, or why is one piece of the family in one part of a cemetery and others in another part or even is another cemetery (not in this one).<br /><br />Looking forward to your next post on this topic.<br /><br />Thank you,<br /><br />RussCousin Russhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00326890362591254874noreply@blogger.com
