Elk Cemetery

I spent a little bit of time yesterday at Cuffy's Cove Catholic Cemetery in Elk, California. Elk is a very small town in Mendocino, California (Population is about 200, so once again, a wonderful town with more people in the cemetery than in the town!)

This cemetery has a beautiful ocean view, and is surrounded by beautiful trees. (No bunnies were out that day though). There are a wide variety of grave markers from wooden to mausoleum (okay, only one mausoleum) and a few with the traditional weeping angels (my favorite).

One of the things I love about small town cemeteries is the upkeep. Very often they will have a "cemetery clean up day" where the towns garden club (and other volunteers) pick a Saturday and clean everything up.

Many of the graves at this cemetery still had their "flag day" flags on them, but I took it as a sign that someone is decorating the cemeteries for the different holidays. As long as someone cares, that is all that matters.

Thanks for reading!
