I have been photodocumenting historic cemeteries in Virginia (and surrounding areas) for over 20 years. In this era, it is vitally important to document cemeteries, especially small private cemeteries, as urban sprawl and development put all older cemeteries at potential risk. My goal is to preserve cemeteries as much as possible, and when relocation is necessary, to assure that the deceased are treated with respect and dignity by all involved.
