Cemetery: Whose Grave is it?

A beautiful day in Bonaventure and Greenwich Cemetery!

A walk through place and time.

This journey moving me between the ether of existence and the dimension where the promise of rest lies eternal.

Neal (NealEnjoy.com) and I spent time caring and cleaning our “future” longterm care facility, our plot in Greenwich Cemetery at Bonaventure Cemetery, Savannah, Georgia. Yes, we have a plan!

A gravestone with the engraved name 'SAYE-SMITH' and the names of three individuals: Donna Lea Boggs Saye, Donald Neal Saye, and Robert John Smith Jr. The gravestone features decorative flowers and a cross at the top.

Time clean away debris and Fall dusty flowers.

Let’s add Spring and Summer colors!

Is it still perpetual care if you clean up your own plot at a cemetery?

    That’s a beautiful stone. Let’s hope you don’t need it soon.

      Math and love, isn’t it great! Matt have you also prepared for your family’s grave site? Is that too personal a question?

    It is interesting that it’s both reassuring and fun to take care of your own cemetery plot!
