Cemetery Trivia

The Thomas Newton Long family plot, September 16, 2017.

One of things I do enjoy about doing tours, which I have been lapsed in doing, is the interesting interaction among attendees. During the St. Patrick’s Cemetery Tour something was relayed to me that I was unaware of and never had given any thought.  In many instances, the graves face to the east. That is certainly the case in most Lassen County cemeteries. Traditionally, the husband is usually buried to the left.  In addition, some churches make it a point for the altar to face to the east. I just never know what I will learn next.
