¤¤¤ Welcome ¤¤¤

Welcome to Cemetery Adventures, a blog providing photos and commentary of people both recently mourned and long forgotten.

Cemeteries, though morbid and depressing to many, are to a few individuals places of great peace and wonderfully nostalgic sensations that can be found nowhere else. History throughout the generations is carved into the stones that mark our dead for the benefit of our remembering. In this blog, I will be sharing the findings of my adventures throughout primarily southern California's cemeteries, both large and small, and giving tribute to the lost voices that call out to me (metaphorically) along the way.

Please note that this blog's primary focus is not on pleasant architecture and statues (though will include some), but is on the random and more often than not faceless names that appear throughout my journeys: people you may have never met, or perhaps would have even not cared to know. But now you will.

Thank you for visiting, and I hope you enjoy this little slice of history.

Field Trip

Come March 12th, I will be flying out to Danville, Illinois to visit with my beloved. Why is this relevant to this blog? Well, it turns out there are apparently a handful of historic cemeteries in Danville, and since she loves cemeteries as well, we will be making at least one outing. The graves from my understanding are largely of Native American individuals and families, which I think will make for not only a fascinating experience, but will serve this blog quite well. We are, after all, about proclaiming the names of those long forgotten, and to respect those who have turned to dust, as we will all join them one day as well.

Stay tuned.
