In reply to Fiz. Oh dear, apologies for such a late reply! Finding fellow taphophiles is really hard, indeed - I'm sooo happy you enjoy my articles! 😊

Of the books you’ve reviewed so far Marta, this one has piqued my interest the most. I’ll be on the lookout for a copy.

Can’t seem to reply directly to your comment Marta, but have now found the original source of that quote – it was by the founder of the Find a Grave website, Jim Tipton. I’ve recently got into cemeteries through that site, and was disheartened not to find any other taphophiles locally, so I’m delighted to have found your blog! It’s great to see someone else enthused about the many charms of old burial grounds.

In reply to Fiz. Thank you so much! 😊 I absolutely love that description – might have to borrow that phrase in a future post (with credit, of course!). Victorian cemeteries truly offer a quiet, reflective beauty that’s hard to find elsewhere. On my daily late afternoon or evening cemetery walks, I’m often completely alone, with occasional distant dog walker, while the park on the other side of the fence is full of people. Honestly, I’ve never quite understood the appeal of that chaos! What a bunch of awfully loud, extraverted weirdos, haha.

Great article – many thanks Marta. I once heard cemeteries described as “public parks for introverts” which struck me as spot -on!
