When I got into our family history and genealogy about...oh, 2008, I think it was, I planned out some cemetery visits on my next bunch of road trips to Ohio and other points in the Midwest. Cemeteries are quite interesting when you learn a bit about them. Some of the older and more luxurious ones, like Spring Grove in Cincinnati, are beyond what most of us think of as beautiful. You have to drive through or even walk through parts of them to appreciate the decades of artistic planning, beauty, and ongoing care. And then there are the more ordinary ones, like DR Jrand71 says, that are looking a bit shabby. I think most of them fall somewhere in between. Of course, there are also those that are incredibly ill-kept and, for all practical purposes, abandoned.
