Great
City, Great Cemeteries
Fun Places
to Visit, But I Wouldn't Want to Live There
Any
city worth its salt has great cemeteries, and Chicago is no exception.
This city is blessed with many cemeteries and each seems to have
its own interest, whether it be monuments to thousands of Southern
Civil War dead (how did they get this far north I wondered, at
first), fascinating carvings, or unusual monument carvings.
