I'm not sure if it's cool or creepy. In Romanian cemeteries they also put the picture of the person right on the headstone as well. I’m not sure if it’s cool or creepy.

Often they're as peaceful and beautiful as parks. It's always fun to make grave rubbings (if done in a respectful unharmful way), and being the freak that I am I love to read the stones and think about the lives of the people who died and their relationships to those buried with them. It's also fasinating to see how graveyards differ from culture to culture: an Italian graveyard for instance, where they place pictures of the deceased right in the headstone, is different from an Austrian one where they have wiry, metal crosses, though both countries are catholic. Some of my favorite cemetaries include: Boston's Old Granary Grounds cemetery in Victoria British columbia cemetery in Berlin where Marlene Dietrich is buried Pere Lachaise in Paris despite that really dumb movie in Paris Je T'aime and the winner for most beautiful is the military burial ground on cabrillo point in San Diego. Always check out the cemetaries when you travel! Yeah I love cementaries, no joke. Often they’re as peaceful and beautiful as parks.
