Grave Gossip

Why would a cemetery need a clock tower? The dead cannot tell time right? Why were some beautifully kept up and others abandoned? Why did some have guards with guns at the gate? I started to read up on histories and any other information on cemeteries I could get my hands on. A general search for any and all cemeteries began. Dead men may not tell tales but the symbols on their tombstones do. What religion were they? What club did they belong to? What was their occupation? All and more can be found on monuments. Don't be afraid open the gate and come in.
