mt pleasant cemetery, queen anne , seattle, wa

The first four images are the four sides of the Nelsom Memorial










Mt Pleasant Cemetery,  I am sure I have driven past you before - assuming without much more the a quick glance to be a park- so obviously hidden from me- right there yet never seen.
Founded (like my present obsession Comet lodge cemetery)
by the Oddfellows, home to first Jewish cemetery. The only cemetery in Seattle still family owned.

My Book! Cemeteries I have known and loved 1.0 at Blurb!

some more acacia - with people this time




















taking peeps to one of my favorite local (presently) cemeteries- acacia memorial park -
this time with people my daughter, my mum and our long time family friend Mary who was visiting from back east (bflo.) this is the first cemetery where we encountered a curious cabinet of varied storage facility for ashes.
People have their ashes behind glass bookshelves- in urns, metal books, ceramic kitchen jars, a wide array of vessels.
