Clinton, I agree with you, for contemporary times, though I sorrow at the lack of good reading and visual interest it will mean. BUT, the OLD graveyards are THE best place for walks, learning history, reading incredible stories of life, and having a respectful picnic, esp. as the oldest trees in town can usually be found in them. Old ones are some of the most fav. places for my kids and me to hang out! When I can find them, I'll put up a couple of my fav. pix from them.
