Beautiful old cemeteries for me always look like a kind of museum, stone tombstones are a whole art. In my area, during my childhood, monuments were made of metal rods. It was like pyramids. Some made crosses out of rebar.
With the collapse of the USSR, a culture of remembering people after death appeared in Russia and people began to put beautiful tombstones in memory of their relatives and friends. I often walk through our village cemetery and see big changes. Tombstones made of marble chips or solid marble with a photo on this marble... Sometimes it feels like I got to an exhibition of portraits of familiar people.
Catholic cemeteries, Jewish cemeteries, crypts - this is a separate architectural theme, causes only admiration.
That is interesting! Do you have any images of the ones made of metal rods?
The very old cemeteries are usually a lot nicer than the new ones. Even if they are a bit neglected.
