Greetings — yesterday, April 12th, is the 104 year anniversary of the worst disaster in maritime history — the sinking of the RMS Titanic. When Marks and I visited Halifax, Nova Scotia in Canada, we discovered that more than 100 victims of that tragedy are buried in a cemetery there. We pay tribute to those lost souls in Fairview Lawn Cemetery.

Additionally, we saw a funny story we couldn’t help but share about a Chinese Communist Funeral and in that same mood, a bit of Cemetery Humor, part 4.

Enjoy.

Happy New Year Friends —

We’ve been busy with the holidays, as I know you have. This is a very short post about a most interesting burying ground in France: The Atrium of St Maclou in Rouen, France.

Enjoy a fascinating part of medieval history..

Galveston Texas is one of the state’s most historic cities. By the mid-1800’s, it had an international reputation with one of the busiest ports in the United States and was often referred to as the “Wall Street of the West.” By the 1920’s and ’30’s, it was called the “sin city on the Gulf.” The historic cemeteries we share in this post reveal a wealth of interesting people and history.

Enjoy
