Cemeteries can be fascinating places to visit, even when the entombed are just ordinary people, not famous or well known. The granite and marble tombstones, crypts and statuary are grief frozen in time by those left behind.
Even for ordinary lives each grave represents a human being with a unique story. Often their stories can be gleaned from the internet, from Find-A-Grave or from Ancestry.com or Newspaper.com.
Some video bloggers have learned to put the two together to make YouTube videos that show selected graves and tell the stories of the departed. Some of the best vids talk about crimes or disasters like fires that killed the entombed.
My two favorite V-Loggers who do this include “Lamont At Large” (see pic above) and “Faces of the Forgotten.” The latter enhances his videos with some great drone footage, a feat I hope to duplicate soon.
Check out these vloggers when you have a chance.
