Great observations! I'm a taphophile...Hi Lynn,<br /><br />Great observations! I'm a taphophile as well as a genealogist, so today's topic was of particular interest to me. <br /><br />I highly recommend Sharon DeBartolo Carmack's book "Your Guide to Cemetery Research". It's a quick read (just 250ish pages), but covers headstone art and epitaphs, funeral and burial customs, even a timeline of diseases and epidemics that impacted our ancestors.<br /><br />Enjoy!<br /><br />LauraLaura Aanensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16522303168667938004noreply@blogger.com
