Friends of Rhinebeck Cemetery

We’re seeing a change here.

Come visit our Natural Burial in spring splendor. Huge thank you to everyone who planted over 1000 bulbs. They’re magnificent. And thanks to Leslie Hill for her photographs. PLEASE NOTE: cemetery clean-up scheduled for this Sunday has been pushed back until May 2 due to rain. April showers...

Great trip to Ridgewood today. Found Houdini at Machpelah Cemetery. Moving military burial section, Jewish solicialists. It was great. Houdini’s wife is portrayed waiting for him to escape.

I like this. Harkens back to when furniture makers evolved from coffin makers
