Honoring Cemeteries

[I have struggled with naming this page, I didn't want to seem morbid.]


"Show me your cemeteries and I will tell you what kind of people you have." 
-Benjamin Franklin

"Show me the manner in which a nation or community cares for its dead and I will measure with mathematical exactness the tender mercies of its people, their respect for the laws of the land, and their loyalty to high ideals." 
-William Gladstone

A WORD TO THE WISE:  Warning about cemeteries, as I was warned also, you may be in danger in the cemeteries because you are not alert to your surroundings as you look at graves. Muggers, know this and also it is a lot less likely that they would be any witness's, and they have so many object to hide behind (gravestones and tombs), so they hide out in cemeteries laying in wait for a victim, so be watchful and don't go along, so take someone who is strong enough to fend off attackers.

Case in point:
