These pictures were taken in the Edmonton Municipal Cemetery

 

Here is my friend Fina at the steps of the mausoleum.  My Grandparents are buried off to the right side, This page is dedicated to them.

 

Gone but not forgotten - always in our hearts.

 

 

This was taken in the older part of the cemetery - a beautiful older angel still looking after her charge.

  

 

Here is such a sweet monument to a little girl - unfortunately as you can see the poor girl has been through suspected vandalism.  You can see her head was broken off and replaced - and her poor legs are not over her feet.

 

These are the ones that should never be forgotten.  Fallen soldiers, cut down in youth - unfortunately a regular site in many cemeteries across North America

 

In the older part of the cemetery - they have this monument to those brave soldiers (my Grandfather James was one of those soldiers that our family was very lucky to have come home).

 

 

.This is one of the things I love about some of the cemeteries around Edmonton, even where some may consider there is death, there is life.  Here is a beautiful young jackrabbit

 

 

One thing you do not see that much in Edmonton Cemeteries are Crypts, but her is a beautiful example.

 

Unfortunately one thing that is rampant in our cemeteries is vandalism by childish thugs.  (note - the 'orb' on the headstone just in the background, is actually from the flash of the camera).
