Greetings — Marks & I have been traveling this winter but that hasn’t stopped our search for interesting cemeteries and interments. Check out today’s postings: Part I of Memorial Oaks Cemetery in Houston and the Cementerio Santa Maria Magdalena de Pazzis in San Juan Puerto Rico, one of the most stunning settings we’ve ever seen.

Look for the Key West Florida Cemetery in a couple of weeks. It’s got some great characters.

Enjoy. Barbara

Greetings — with the report today of the first Ebola patient in New York City, Marks and I thought it might be interesting to look at the world’s worst pandemic. Here’s our new sidebar: Ebola, Black Death and Plague Pits.

Greetings – today’s posting includes one of the most fascinating funeral practices we’ve ever experienced: Tana Toraja, Sulawesi Indonesia. We think you’ll find the story and photographs compelling.

We have an update on Lonesome George, the famous Galapagos tortoise and also a new cartoon for Cemetery Humor.

Enjoy.
