In all my photo-stories of our Toronto/Muskoka trip I forgot to tell you about my folks! The plot in the cemetery looks good.

A stone has been placed on the plot beside them (Pratt). There are lots of names, and birth dates, but no death dates. I presume they are being prepared, planning ahead.
It's a lovely cemetery. Lots of interesting stones and placements.

Off we went on our tour.
All those pit-stops look interesting! Cemeteries can be very interesting places.
ReplyDeletei know a lot of people love cemeteries, i don't like to go. even to see my dad, it just feels too somber for me!!! looks like you made some interesting stops!!!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots. I guess it's become more common in the last thirty or so years to carve a name into a stone in advance.

ReplyDeleteOh the history, returned to the earth... YAM xx
The cemetery gives us all kinds of reasons to pause and think about the lives of other. In a small local cemetery like hours most people are known.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful two headstones!
ReplyDeleteI go to the cemetery once a year, before the jewish High Holidays. This is the time to ask Forgiveness and pray for a Good New Year. I come back feeling unwell as the place is very sunny and I usually do some cleaning work of the stones and around them.
|We used to go to the cemeteries and have a little communion with the ancestors. Not living in the area anymore (Hastings and Prince Edward and Peterborough), it doesn't happen very often.
ReplyDeleteOs cemitérios são locais de muita paz. Eu aprecio visitar.
