"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.

Thanks for posting this. Many of my ancestors are buried in Columbiana County and my brother and I had an opportunity to visit East Liverpool two summers ago.
Sorry to report that the cemetery once again has become a weed-patch in many areas. I visited it yesterday after a few months time, and to my dismay, found things in the front sections once again lacking maintenance and disrepair. My father, grandparents, and greatgrandparents are buried there, and it is heartbreaking to see the lack of care at Spring Grove Cemetery. Last night I put my trimmer in the car and did my own cleaning-it is disgusting to say the least, and my father will definitely be the last member of our family to be interred there!
