Tyler, Texas, takes over cemetery
The city government in Tyler, Texas, declared an old cemetery abandoned, and took it over. It will now enter an agreement with St. Louis Baptist Church to maintain the grounds.
"Show me your cemeteries, and I will tell you what kind of people you have." -- Benjamin Franklin
Where do we go when we die? This blog explores the places where cemeteries and land use intersect, and examines what urban planners and thinkers, communities and others are doing (and not doing) about cemeteries.
You can find a companion site at Facebook, and I'm tweeting about these subjects at Twitter, at @TaphoFiles.
