Detail (Mausoleum)
One of the best things about going to a new city is the chance to look at a new cemetery! (An uncommon opinion, but I don’t even care.;)

Please Register
I am not sure if I’m going to get in trouble by admitting that I did not register, even though I was clearly directed to do so…

Arbor Flowers
This hand-made arbor was decorated with some artificial flowers, and a ribbon. The passageway under the arbor didn’t really go anywhere in particular, but still – it was a nice touch.

José, 1958
On one corner of this cemetery, there was a huge black marble marker. It was taller than me and I am sure they needed a sizeable crane to lift it into place. I didn’t photograph it.
But this tiny marker? I loved it.

Memorial Directory
Once, in Lebanon, Nebraska, we were looking in a cemetery for a particular grave. The posted map didn’t match the cemetery’s layout at all – for all the help in provided it could well have been a map of the country of Lebanon.
I always do look for the map (or in this case, the fancier-sounding Memorial Directory) when I’m wandering around cemeteries. It’s sort of like how I always want to see the caretaker’s shack: it ties into my continual interest in the way things work.
