I love walking through cemeteries. Far from being spooky, I find them calming, and a testament to love. They really are for the living, rather than the dead...

I often imagine what someone's life was like because of their name, what was written on their tombstone, who was buried around them, etc. Some of the tombstones are quite beautiful.

I recall in one cemetery, a family losing 5 kids in the space of 7-8 years (early part of the 20th century, starting around the time of the Spanish flu). Tragic - I can't even begin to imagine the sorrow in that family...
