Annie - that's Hope cemetery, in my town. Some wonderful granite work there.

Cincinnati, Ohio

It's so interesting to see all the different cemeteries from around the world and the US.

murraysmom, it's not, but that looks like the cemetery where my parents and brother are buried.

caflowerluver, you reminded me that I have a photo of the Ferndale cemetery too - I was just over there about a month ago! What a sweet little town that is.

Daughters ashes and those of her beloved beagle are in a drawer here at this beautiful Ohio cemetery

Wonderful pictures, everyone! Gaz, I had my stepmother buried with her devoted pug. I wish all cemeteries had so many trees.

Trees bordering a cemetery are nice but there is a downside. In my town, there is a historic cemetery that has maple trees along its front border. Many of the town founders are buried there. I suspect those trees may have contributed to the street name; It is Maple avenue. Those trees are over 100 years old and some have died. Storms occasionally topples one of these trees with monster trunks, and when that happens, tombstones are damaged or wrecked.

Old cemeteries I have visited that have endured the best are devoid of deciduous trees. A few shrubs and certain evergreens seem to endure without causing a lot of damage.

Yes, trees as they age can cause problems, but I have as yet not seen any
damage. I am sure that after stormy weather, clean up can be extensive. That
Ohio cemetery is owned and cared for by the small city of it's location. It is
beautifully maintained, always awe inspiring when visit there
