When I was a child visiting my relatives at St. Mary's this headstone, which is not far from theirs, always creeped me out.

Absolutely super thread here Logan! Thanks for posting these wonderful snaps.

I think I have some shots of the Christ's Church cemetary in Philly around somewhere. Ben Franklin is buried there. It is terribly picturesque. If you like I will dig'em out & post 'em.

Regards, Canis


Of Course...that's the reason why I started this thread. ;)

Cemeteries are many things, among them, teaching tools for our history and way of life.

the link Logan provided way back in the first post showing post-mortem pics of children made me really sad. I really felt bad for the grieving parents.

Ok As promised, here are my vacation snaps of Christ CHurch Cemetary In Phillidelphia, Pennsylvania, U.S.A.

These first three are The grave of the great Benjamin Franklin. You may notice a lot of pennies all over the grave. That is because it is custom for newly wedded couples to throw a penny on his grave. If it lands heads up, it is said to bring the couple good fortune in their life together. Honestly, Ihave know idea how these things get started. :)

These shots are just various sights in the rest of the cemetary. It is very old for an american cemetary, and full of interesting markers and vaults.

~I've seen this post many times & never thought to check it out until tonight. I've always had an interest...high interest that had to do with gravesights (especially pics), headstone rubbings, and especially post-mortum photos. Ever since I saw the movie The Others and saw the Death book and the pictures inside, I never knew anything like that really exhisted and thought I was beyond morbid for thinking that kind of stuff was interesting...but it truly is and I don't know why. The only thing that bothers me are the pictures of the children. Other than that though, I just love looking at these kind of things and glad I took a moment to check outthis post. Thank you for the links too, Logan!!

Thanks for all the photos and links everyone and thanks to logan for starting this topic!
