To Die For!  Celebrating Cemeteries 
since June 24, 1998

Welcome! For the past 20 years, I have visited and photographed cemeteries all around the world. I feel cemeteries are NOT just for mourning anymore!

It's only natural to fear death and the Great Unknown of our existence after life. But since death is inevitable, many writers, poets, musicians, and filmmakers have spent a lot of energy dealing with this topic; some with reverence, others without. This site primarily examines the second group. (Although, I try to do so without disrespecting the solemn dignity of the deceased).

To Die For! is an irreverent , stream-of-consciousness celebration of cemeteries and the lighter side of death. It is not a definitive or comprehensive study of the subject, but rather a light-hearted glimpse at a traditionally gloomy topic.

Enjoy the photos for their intrinsic beauty or, in some cases, a comical look at life and death. The text is filled with strange observations, famous last words, funny epitaphs, film and music trivia, bad jokes, and miscellaneous oddities. It is with grave interest that I present this web site, which is for people who celebrate life rather than fearing death. Enjoy!
