Welcome, Josh  . Re: Your obsession with gravesites. I'm retired from the funeral service industry in New York City. You probably already know this, but check out Saint John's Cemetery in Middle Village and Greenwood Cemetery in Brooklyn. There are enough wiseguys buried in those cemeteries to form a sixth family  .

I'm retired from the funeral service industry in New York City. I knew it. I knew it. There's always been something curious about your posts, something that lurks in the souls of those from Throggs Neck.

Mickey, I pretty much just take photographs of the mafia gravesites I've been to in the Detroit, Chicago, and L.A. area. I've also done gravestone rubbings in the past but its kinda time consuming, and labor intensive to do that but it does add a new dimension to things so to speak. Also to help spice things up a bit I've been known to do graveside video documentaries with my camcorder, of gangster gravesites. The older videos I've made and uploaded to You Tube are kinda primitive to the newer videos I've made which have photos, and voice-over narration. If your interested here's a link to my You Tube page: http://www.youtube.com/user/GraveHunterGuy

Hey Morbid, nice video. You're in my neck of the woods (tho I can't say I hangout in cemeteries.  I'm sure you know more about them than I do. TIS

When I lived in the East New York section of Brooklyn, I regularly passed the Dutch Reformed Church on New Lots Avenue near Jerome Street. Their graveyard had headstones going back to the late 17th Century, with the names of the original Dutch settlers--Van Siclen, Van Sinderen, etc. Found out later that it's the second-oldest cemetary in NYC.
When we visited Paris, we spent a half-day at the famous Pere Lachaise Cemetary. Fabulous place! Contains the graves of Chopin, Colette, Judah P. Benjamin--and Jim Morrison.
