I've visited many beautiful cemetaries in my travels. From the medieval tombs of London and Ireland to more modern family plots hidden and forgotten here in the states. As a kid we would sneak in at night and try to scare one another (DO NOT DO THIS! YOU CAN BE TICKETED, KICKED OUT, OR WORSE, ARRESTED) But those times are past. I was a tour guide for halloween and fall "Rose Hill Rambles" at Rose Hill in Macon, Ga, home of antebellem, civil war, and two members of the 1960-1970's band The Allman Brothers. I've also hosted tours of cemetaries in Savannah, St. Simon's Island, and Atlanta, ga. The ones in New England, New York, and Pa are fabulous, the above ground burials in New Orleans are also fascinating, and my new favorites are in my new home state of Iowa. In Iowa City, there is a monument called the "Black Angel" and there are two well hidden, forgotten cemetaries: one in an abandoned town (once the size of ottumwa, Iowa, founded by my wifes fathers families) and one i found by accident belonging to a family called Stoneking.
