• Hunting For Vampires A...
The cemetery in its original form - the northwestern wooded area - opened in 1839, as part of a plan to provide seven large, modern cemeteries, now known as the "Magnificent Seven", around the outside of central London. The inner-city cemeteries, mostly the graveyards attached to individual churches, had long been unable to cope with the number of burials and were seen as a hazard to health and an undignified way to treat the dead. The initial design was by architect and entrepreneur Stephen Geary.
On Monday 20 May 1839, Highgate (West) Cemetery was dedicated to St. James[3] by the Right Reverend Charles James Blomfield, Lord Bishop of London. Fifteen acres were consecrated for the use of the Church of England, and two acres set aside for Dissenters. Rights of burial were sold for either limited period or in perpetuity. The first burial was Elizabeth Jackson of Little Windmill Street, Soho, on 26 May.
Highgate, like the others of the Magnificent Seven, soon became a fashionable place for burials and was much admired and visited. The Victorian attitude to death and its presentation led to the creation of a wealth of Gothic tombs and buildings. It occupies a spectacular south-facing hillside site slightly downhill from the top of the hill of Highgate itself, next to Waterlow Park. In 1854 a further 19 acres to the south east of the original area, across Swains Lane, was bought to form the eastern part of the cemetery which opened in 1860. Both sides of the Cemetery are still used today for burials.
The cemetery's grounds are full of trees, shrubbery and wildflowers, most of which have been planted and grown without human influence. The grounds are a haven for birds and small animals such as foxes.
Highgate Cemetery was featured in the popular media from the 1960s to the late 1980s for its so-called occult past, particularly as being the alleged site of the "Highgate Vampire".

The intricate details of the mausoleums and some of the gravestones are so remarkable, I would love to walk and read them, it would take the rest of my life but I would try. Loved the one with the dog, thanx

Very pretty love the beautiful foliage of tree's growing in & amongst the Graves and other plants very natural looking very peaceful & love ❤️ George Michael I still don't understand what happened to him ❤️ I grew up listening to him sing and rest in peace 🙏 gone to soon thank you for your art 🙏 ❤️.

[@deadgoodwalks]

Absolutely, it feels very peaceful at his grave. I have to admit I’d never listened to him that much but since visiting his grave I’ve listened to all his hits and watched every interview on KZbin, he seemed like a great man. Thank you for your lovely comment

@@deadgoodwalks it's not for everyone but it's amazing to help a family through a very sad time

[@Cheetoluv]

@@catherinevfrost85 we have a family friend that owned their own mortuary, retired now. When my brother was killed Christmas Eve night in a car accident, the couple that hit him was killed as well and my brother’s family wasn’t killed, but she was a great help to us. She couldn’t do his funeral because she was in a different county. The help she gave us and those of us that had more questions because I come from a large family, she answered our questions. Our sister in law wasn’t going to bury him in the vault in the ground and we all wanted him to have it to keep the unground water from flowing through his grave, she donated one. Which was a very kind thing to do and our sister in law couldn’t turn it down because it was free. Our sister in law wasn’t going to let us see him. So she told us that even if there was some injuries to his face, if we wanted that last goodbye we should because we would always regret it, she had seen it in many families. I’m glad she told us that, his injuries were not that bad. Most of us chose to see him, kiss and hold his hand and say our final goodbye. What was odd when I held his hand it was not cold like I expected. I’m not a Morbid person but I don’t fear seeing death in different stages. Some of it wouldn’t want to touch at different stages. I guess I just see it as part of life and I do believe the body is just a vessel to hold our soul, that life is in heaven after death.

Very loud and clear… echoing within the mausoleum itself . You were looking into the mausoleum of COLUMBARIUM and of the Beloved Fanny Harriet Pusey. however there are many cremated ⚱️🏺ashes there as well, could it have been one of the many entombed there? I must say that the voice come Definitely from inside the mausoleum, because of the way the voice echoes within. I wondering,🤔unless you had somebody walking with you. I don’t believe that you did, please let us know?

I'd love to go for a walk there, lovely peaceful atmosphere. Should you ever come to Berlin you need to visit the Old St.-Matthäus-Kirchhof. It's a stunningly beautiful cemetery, well kept, with lots of interesting grave art and architecture. The Brothers Grimm are buried there among other famous people. It's not very big but going slightly uphill you can see a lot of it at once and its amazing, especially in spring and summer with all the lush green around.

[@ellenlyons4090]

Since when did people get charged to visit a cemetery in Britain ? Someone should query this with Islington council. Someone is on the make. Family’s pay a lot of money for plots and that should pay for the upkeep of the cemetery. I get a lot of George Michaels fans would go there to pay their respects but to charge it’s disgusting. I’ve never seen a cemetery so poorly maintained. Why didn’t George’s family have a mausoleum built it would be there for eternity. I had the honour of meeting Jeremy Beadle many years ago in fact I made him a black coffee . As he’d been to a function the night before and was shall we say a bit fragile. What a lovely down to earth man no I’m a celebrity about him RIP George Jeremy great music great comedy.

Personally I think it should be donation based but charging does help with the upkeep, and provides things like toilets. x
