Green (no relation) (probably)
Usually when I see cemeteries that are in disrepair, they’re little ones out in the country and I sort of feel like the relatives of the people buried there are themselves buried someplace and there’s no one left to take care of the place.
But this one? It was one of the most ragged cemeteries I’ve ever seen and it’s in Memphis, on Elvis Presley Boulevard. I noticed it because I was deliberately looking for non-shiny, non-touristy things along the fabled boulevard. And I’m not the only person who thinks it’s ragged: it’s got a one-star rating on Google.
Anyway, I don’t think the Greens buried here are related to me, but I don’t know that for sure.

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.
