Happy Friday! Did you know that May is Cemetery Appreciation Month? Every Friday, we’re going honor cemeteries on Instagram. Cemeteries can be scary places and most people don’t visit unless they have to, but cemeteries are often very beautiful, calm and peaceful places, filled with art, architecture, flowers and trees, just like a lush garden. If you’re ever just looking for a quiet place to go, check out your local cemetery.🪦🌸💐🌻🌹
