Centerburg Cemetery

Last week I posted about a cemetery I visited known as Eastview Cemetery. This cemetery is directly across the street! This one is much older and was a lot more interesting for me personally to explore. 





This headstone with the woman walking down steps was my favorite in the whole cemetery. It was so beautiful and eerie all at the same time. You don't see as many new headstones like this anymore, at least where I'm from. So it's nice to see something so old still look this lovely.



These headstones were very odd to me. They look like tiny little seats that were carved out of wood. I had never seen stones like this before and they were very interesting!





This cemetery wasn't very big, but it was definitely still fun and interesting to explore. I actually think I might have spent about an hour and a half just walking around and reading the inscriptions and dates on the headstones. There were many detailed headstones that you can tell took a lot of work. I also love that even though this place is extremely old and no longer really used, it still is kept neat and clean.

I can't believe I have lived so close to this cemetery my whole life but have never taken the time to explore and capture it until now. But I'm really happy I did! I wish I could have found more history on it but there wasn't hardly anything I could find.

East View Cemetery

This week I took a spontaneous trip to two cemeteries, this was the first one I visited! East View Cemetery is actually only about 2 miles away from my house but I had never really came here to explore! I really couldn't find too much information about this place. I know it is one of the newer cemeteries around this part of Ohio. It's actually right across from another, older cemetery which I will be talking about next week!

I really loved the little details and statues people would bring by the graves. It really shows how much people care. I always get a fuzzy feeling whenever I'm in a cemetery and see fresh flowers.



This cemetery wasn't creepy at all, it was actually so peaceful and pretty. I didn't get as many photos as I would have hoped but I always seem to have trouble finding things I'm extremely interested in at "newer" cemeteries. However, this was a gorgeous place and I was very happy that I finally took the time to visit.
