I so enjoy visiting old cemeteries and reading grave markers. So do my siblings. We took road trips all the time growing up as we moved almost every year as dad got transferred in the military. When we visited Tombstone, Arizona we went through Boothill Cemetary. After that we were hooked and part of our travels besides beach trips, Disneyland, lakes like Bear Lake, Calico, Grand Canyon, great hiking trails all over the US, Canada, Mexico, we always liked to visit old cemeteries.

@hm1350 3 года назад

The tours run by the friends of the cemetery to the West side are really something to behold - I've been a few times and I would highly recommend it in order to provide them with some financial support and to see it for yourself! While the tours to the West are guided due to portions being unsafe and fragile, you also are allowed to enter the East unsupervised as part of your admission, and it really allows you to get a sense of the place as it would have been a century ago.

The swirly incense doesn’t scream addicting and bleak and I think it’s quite the distinction since not a lot of people know what that specific drug is but know what opium is.

@acidmack1041 3 года назад

I went on a tour of Highgate around 3 years ago, they take you around all the famous graves and tell you the history of the place. George Michael was there too but as it was not long after his death his grave (that he shared with his mother) was hidden from view and we were not allowed to go near it as per the wishes of his family. Near to the mausoleum of Julius Beer are the catacombs where you walk inside and can see hundreds of lead coffins stacked up on shelves, some are that old that they are crumbling and you can see the rotting wood coffins underneath...others have been previously vandalised and are completely smashed open, its a really eerie experience in there. Its a tour that is highly recommended to anybody visiting or from London
