People don't realize the wealth of information gotten from cemeteries. You do an excellent job of showing that.

Fascinating tour! Graveyards conjured many emotions. The older I get, the more relaxed I am and the more I can appreciate all the sights and artwork. To me, it serves as a reminder to live each day to the fullest for we don't know how many we have left.

Cemeteries are the most peaceful places you can visit. I am a history lover as well.

I’ve always liked walking through old cemeteries. They are usually very peaceful places. The fancy headstones and history is fascinating.

I use to think that checking out a graveyard was kind of creepy but you make it seem enjoyable and knowledgeable. Thank you again Jeff for a wonderful show.

In ancient times, (8000BCE) people burried or kept the bones of their loved ones, right in their house. For generations. Good work Jeff.

I loved this latest road trip.

A cemetery is a place of historical records. Usually in a peaceful and beautiful setting. Each headstone is a rememberance of those who went before us, a memorial (no matter how humble) to a life lived on this earth. No, Jeff, you don't sound sick! I feel the same way! I love cemeteries!
-
I love the cemetery episodes it highlights the people long forgotten that paved the way to the place we are today. When you do retire and do this full time I got a spot for you in Florida to come stay. Safe travels thanks for sharing.
