I have always loved cemeteries too. Not morbid or anything like that. An interesting cemetery is a place for thought and reflection, and peace and quiet. For nearly 20 years I drove each day down a road which had large cemeteries on either side. Every day I found that the trip reduced worry and stress. Under every headstone was someone who, at one time or another, was worried about something. Perspective is a very good thing...Living in Nashville, it’s hard to find a cemetery that DOESN’T have a well-known person in it. The cool thing is, if there is a funeral home or cemetery office attached, most provide a tour map upon request with the more well-known gravesites marked. I’ve always loved cemeteries. Particularly old ones. One of the things that propelled me into funeral service.
Yes! You are spot on. There is something so very peaceful about being in or near a cemetery just to collect one’s thoughts.I have always loved cemeteries too. Not morbid or anything like that.

Was he around during the era “Field of Dreams” was supposed to be?I live in a small town and our most famous person buried here in our city cemetery is Chicago Cub's pitcher Carl "Lundy" Lundgren.

Anyone else have a well known person's gravesite near their home?
No. The "Field of Dreams" era with Shoeless Joe Jackson was 1919. Lundgren played from 1902-1909. Pretty close though.Was he around during the era “Field of Dreams” was supposed to be?
