Père Lachaise Cemetery, Paris

One of the most famous Cemeteries in the World...  Because of it's the final resting spot for Doors lead singer Jim Morrison (photo below).. On a recent visit to Paris, there was a very good French singer singing Morrison's greatest hits near his grave.   

Saint Lawrence Cemetery, West Haven CT

Saint Lawrence Cemetery is located next to the Yale Bowl in West Haven, Connecticut.   I have driven by it for years on Route 34 traveling towards downtown New Haven.   I finally got a chance to stop and explore.  

Santa María Magdalena de Pazzis Cemetery, San Juan PR

Located in Old San Juan and next to the Atlantic Ocean,  Santa Maria Magdalena de Pazzis gets the award for the cemetery with the best location that I have visited so far.  The ocean makes a great back drop for the beautiful above ground tomb stones.  If you visit, it's located also right next to the big Fort called Castillo San Felipe del Morro, "El Morro" which is one of San Juan's top tourist attraction.

In May, I visited "Oak Hill Cemetery" in Georgetown for the first time.   Since then we have had two major storms (Derecho in June and Sandy last week)  and it looks like Oak Hill sustained a lot of tree damage as you can see above.
