New England Cemeteries


~Spring 2011~







~Fall 2010~

Mt Auburn Cemetery is one of the most beautiful places that I frequent.  It was the first "Garden Cemetery," and lends itself to many visitors.  Whether they are commemorating the lives of their loved ones, walking through the gardens with friends, taking pictures, or birdwatching, it's a peaceful place right in the middle of a busy area.  

For me, it has been a refuge of sorts, a place that I can come on my own to think or feel peace, as well as make memories with great friends.  I love it in every season, and you can see why.  From the tower you can see all of Boston, including Belmont Hill where the temple is.    I never thought that I would enjoy being in a cemetery, but now I can appreciate it for beauty and for the hallowed ground it is.
