| Yes aren't these old cemeteries great! I have been our sexton for a around 18 years, I resigned a year ago in April, they may have found a replacement for me. It has gotten to the point that I am the only one who really understands how it works other then one other guy who I believe is older then me and lives 30 miles away and no longer a member of our church. Nobody else really understands how it is laid out which is not good. I would like to see some younger person take it for 10-15 years then hand it off to someone else so that there is always 3-4 people who can step in if need be to train a new person. Ours originally had 10 graves/lot and sometime it was changed to 12, which makes some of the spots very tight or too tight for a vault. We have trees for markers, old part the trees mark the center of the 2 rows of graves in the lot, the new part they mark the west edge of the lots because that is the way "everybody else does it" REALLY!!!! beyond me why they would not keep it the way it was started! Then you throw in that in the old days families bought the whole lot so descendants inherit burial rights so one has to be careful not to sell those empty graves to purchasers of graves. | |
