Aspen, Colorado, cemetery in disrepair
The local government is working to take over and fix up a historic cemetery in Aspen, Colorado, which dates back more than 100 years. Some of the city's early founders are buried here.

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.
