It's sad there are no records, I hope someone at least records the information from the stones so that people will know at least what graveyard their ancestors are in if not the exact place of burial.

@Traderjoe 6 ай бұрын

It’s very unfortunate. I am sure that anyone buried in the 1700s and 1800s that there remains are now soil, so a fence of headstones is probably okay as an indication of an area where their bodies once were. Maybe a wall can be made and the stones mounted on the wall, or their names and dates cut out from the stones and mounted on the wall. It could be a bench height wall that people could come to and sit at who want to pay respects?

Placing headstones around the side of a old cemetery is quite common in parts of Europe. Only about a 20 minute walk from where I live there's an old church in Bermondsey, London. They've placed a public garden at the side of the church and the headstones are placed around the fence/wall, but respectfully upright and although very faded you can still read some of them. In this church the headstones were piled disrespectfully on top of one another! Did anybody else notice some of the headstones in German? Goshenhoppen, sounds like an old German name and they probably date back to a time when German was more widely spoken in Pennsylvania than English. Fascinating, keep em coming Chris and Jay. 🤗

To me, the Philly situation is worse. The tombstones represent the person. You know family was involved in the creation of the tombstone, supplying the information which perhaps included an epitaph and an image of some kind. At least here you know where they are in general, if not the exact spot, and the tombstone can still be seen. Sometimes, a tombstone is the only record you can find of a person's dates of birth and death or even their existence such as in the case of a baby or child. From a genealogist's point of view, that can be more important than the precise location of the body.

Absolutely well done and very eye-opening. When I began Mortuary College in the 80's, our introduction began with "everything in life is temporary". How true. In America, it is not uncommon or legally unethical for a smaller cemetery to be rezoned and repurposed. But rarely before the first 150+ years. If your needs are "forever", consider a cemetery where someone famous is buried. We're going to repose near the Proctors and Gambles in Spring Grove Cemetery, Cincinnati.

I don’t want to be buried. Nobody is going to be alive to care after a generation or two. I’ll be forgotten and that’s ok with me. To think that a headstone should stand infinitely is think is unrealistic. Here in Hawaii they didn’t use headstones and there is no paperwork either. Back to the earth. No need to headstones to stand for centuries. My family are buried in beautiful cemeteries and I’m grateful for them but I have no desire to be buried like this. I am also agnostic and believe when I die I’m dead. I have no need for religion in my life. This is how I feel. No disrespect to others

I feel the same way about burials. I spent years in AK fishing so I always though a burial at sea would be cool, give back to the waters. But I guess you have to have a lot of money or be very important for that to happen. So just cremate me and throw me off a pier.🐟🐟
