What are you ? a protestant ? and how are Protestant cemeteries ?

@swandfriends seeking clarification is not making an argument. But when a person resists substantiation, it leads to an argument. Yours comes out as a racist remark .. Like if you make a statement Ebony voices are better, then obviously anyone would ask, how do you differentiate color in a voice ? In your case anyone will ask what other cemetry you have been to or know of.. which you are bound to answer..

I take it you are under the age of about 34 or so. This is not an older person's views, saying that I'm making a "racist" remark. That's a new trend. To accuse everyone of being racist

@swandfriends Just exercise some caution before you make an assertion, and do ask your friends about your remark. I could see you are in a defiance mood, so your mind is obviously shut. Think how people will read or interpret it, before you assert. Not easy to take back words, in today's world.

In the Victorian days the cemetery was treated like a park , yes people would visit them and even picnic .

During the 19th century, and especially in its later years, snacking in cemeteries happened across the United States. It wasn’t just apple-munching alongside the winding avenues of graveyards. Since many municipalities still lacked proper recreational areas, many people had full-blown picnics in their local cemeteries. The tombstone-laden fields were the closest things, then, to modern-day public parks.



The picnic-and-relaxation trend can also be understood as the flowering of the rural cemetery movement. Whereas American and European graveyards had long been austere places on Church grounds, full of memento mori and reminders not to sin, the new cemeteries were located outside of city centers and designed like gardens for relaxation and beauty. Flower motifs replaced skulls and crossbones, and the public was welcomed to enjoy the grounds.
I've never noticed a difference between the denominations.
A graveyard is a graveyard is a graveyard.

That's because it's quiet not a lot of chattering going on.
