| Stonehenge Used as Cemetery From the Beginning | | 2008-05-29 21:53:34 | | By JOHN NOBLE WILFORD
At least part of the mystery of Stonehenge may have now been solved: It was from the beginning a monument to the dead.
New radiocarbon dates from human cremation burials among and around the brooding stones on Salisbury Plain in England indicate that the site was used as a cemetery from 3000 B.C. [...] | | By: ArticlesModern | | |
| | Mattress Cemetery? The Mattress Giant Solution. | | 2008-05-25 14:49:34 | | After accelerating allergy problems (wheezing, difficulty breathing, runny eyes) my local doctor told me that it was most likely dust mites - eewwww - or other allergens when I was attempting to sleep.
Why? I felt fine at work but my symptoms seemed to kick in at night and in the morning I felt horrible. [...] | | By: HairBoutique Blog | | |
| | Pet cemetery used to cremate U.S. soldiers' remains | | 2008-05-16 20:14:06 | | If you didn't catch this article in the Washington Post, apparently some American military killed in Iraq have been cremated in a pet cemetery in Delaware near Dover Air Force Base. The base itself has no crematorium for the arriving dead, and so contracted with a local pet cemetery.The practice came to an end May 9 after photos of the site taken by an Army officer worked their way up to Secretary of defense Robert Gates. The officer had been there to attend the services of a fallen comrade and was appalled to see the crematorium labeled "Friemds Forever Pet Cremation Service."Atom

| | Granary cemetery | | 2008-03-12 13:37:00 | | .Bem no centro de Boston existem vários cemitérios... e fazem parte da história da cidade. Como na cultura anglo-saxónica a morte não é encarada como o dramatismo com que é vivida pelos latinos o facto de um cemitério estar colado a arranha-céus no meio da parte nobre da cidade não representa problema algum.Estas fotos foram tiradas no Granary Cemetery que foi criado em 1660. Deve ser a construção humana mais antiga de Boston (segundo me disseram...)Como se pode ver... o Granary cemetery está colado aos tradicionais arranha-céus....Muitas figuras ligadas à história da cidade e mesmo do país estão enterradas nestes cemitérios. Por exemplo, no Granary Cemetery estão enterrados o Benjamim Franklin, Samuel Adams e Paul Revere. Estão também lá as vítimas do Boston massacre (um dos episódios da independência americana) O Granary cemetery está muito perto do Boston Common e do Massachusetts house.. | | By: solas na mesa - photo blog about portugal ( and mo | | |
| | HISTORICAL CEMETERY IN GRESIK | | 2008-03-09 21:32:00 | | CEMETERY IN GRESIKThere are some cemeteries which are of historical values in Gresik. Namely the cemetery of Fatimah binti Maimun or the cemetery of Princess Suwari or Princess Cempa (1082 A.D.). The cemetery of Fatimah binti Maimun is considered as the oldest one in Indonesia.The cemetery of Fatimah binti MaimunThe cemetery of Maulana Malik Ibrahim, died in 1419 was the first and the oldest Islamic religious leader (known as wali) who introduced Islam in Java. The building has lots of changed and renovated. Its tombstone is not original anymore, neither is its gate. The roof of its cover has collapsed. Only its four walls are still in good condition though they are cracked. This wall is decorated with horizontal frames, something that is only found here and gives an impression that in the 11th century people were still completely found with temples and therefore the Islamic graves are shaped like temples.The cemetery of Maulana Malik IbrahimSince the roof of the cover is missing, the | | By: Indonesia Cultural and Art | | |
| | | Rambling About (In) Cemeteries: Montparnasse Cemetery | | 2008-02-28 18:00:00 | | One grey New Year's Day in Paris my sister and I decided to go for a walk. Our senses happily dulled from the night before, we wandered through Montparnasse; a high wall herded us along the sidewalk.
Suddenly, it broke into large gates: a cemetery lay beyond. We hesitated, but our curiosity was piqued, so we went in... | | By: SiteBits | | |

| | The Cemetery Code II
AS we discussed yesterday, ... | | 2007-05-22 13:06:00 | | The Cemetery Code IIAS we discussed yesterday, the Victorians were very into hidden meanings and codes. partly because they were utterly repressed and partly because they didn't have TV yet. The days were long, we communicated with each other by the way we held our fans. Directness was not a virtue.The Victorians created a culture around death. Public mourning, elaborate funerals and huge monuments to the dead were all very popular at this time. If you wanted an enormous monument and they all did - all the better to display the piety and affluence of both the deceased and yourself - white marble was pretty but very soft and not at all weather resistant or you could go with a very hardy but also very hard to carve granite - available in expensive gray, very expensive pink and the most blingy of all, the black amex card of it's day, black granite .The Victorians didn't just have funnerals they staged events. Things got expensive.So. Manufacturers started to create cheaper alternativ | | By: Reading In The Dark | | |
| | The Cemetery Code
Have you ever wandered through ... | | 2007-05-21 13:06:00 | | The Cemetery CodeHave you ever wandered through a cemetery and said to yourself "Damn. A hundred years ago everyone sure died young" , and yes if you read the markers a lot of children lived "4 years, 3 months and 11 days" , or they lived through childhood only to die in childbirth. Men lived long enough to be killed in war or by diptheira/yellow fever/cholera/TB/tetanus or influenza. It was a tough time.I took a walking tour of the very lovely Oakwood Cemetery. It was established in 1867 and went on to serve the cities early notable movers and shakers after they stopped moving and shaking. The other cemetery, the city cemetery, was founded in 1799 and served mostly the less notable and their slaves - it is also noticeably less garden-style. Today Oakwood Cemetery (garden-style) is the permanent home for some 20,000. Jesse Helms will be buried there, John Edwards' son is.On the tour we learned that the modern cemetery got it's start in 1804 in France.

| | Dean Cemetery, Edinburgh | | 2007-05-17 10:03:00 | | I came across Dean Cemetery when was in Edinburgh earlier this week. It’s next to the Dean Gallery. I noticed a gate in to the cemetery from the car park at the Dean Gallery and decided to go and have a look around. I thought it was an amazing place. I didn’t have too much time to look around as I was meeting our son for lunch. I will visit it again soon and spend more time there. I must add the cemetery to my guide to Edinburgh off the beaten track. I did spot the grave of the architect Playfair, responsible for much of the new town in Edinburgh.
I took photos of the of a couple of the most memorable gravestones. The photo above is of the grave of James Buchanan, founder of the Buchanan Institute in Glasgow. I did a Google search to find out more but drew a blank. Please fill me in if you know more about this.
I wasn’t sure whose grave this is, as it has a few different names on it, but I really liked the three herons carved on it.
