I'm enjoying your new blog Jeffrey. My mother is a geneologist which meant as I was growing up in the 70's all our family vacations centered around her research - most of which took place in cemeteries. I thought it was totally normal to spend countless hours roaming through graveyards picking out my favorites. As a result I don't find cemeteries morbid, but rather peaceful and beautiful.
Side note: I recently visited my future burial place in the Cimtiere Cote des Neiges, Montreal. My husband's family has a large family plot there where 4 generations have been laid to rest. I didn't find being there frightening but rather comforting. I pray we all rise together to the resurrection of life. Amen+
Love your blog, Jeffrey. I linked a photo of yours to my blog, jimnolansblog.com, about Forest Lawn and the article in today's NY Times about Chinese tombs. Hope that's ok.

"Fakir of Ava?" Never know what you'll find. He was Isaiah Harris Hughes, a stage magician.
