  • Tour De Grave Historical Notes 2012
    Tour de Grave Historical Notes 2012 There are about 125 cemeteries in Boston, including ones owned by private for-profits, nonprofit and religious groups, and the city. There are 19 municipal cemeteries, the largest number of any city in the United States of which 16 are considered historic. Only 3 of the municipal sites still accept new burials. (The Historic Burying Grounds Initiative – for municipal sites established between 1630 and 1841 – was created in 1986 as a public-private effort to upgrade and maintain these properties.) Since the 1800s, Massachusetts state law requires that “each town shall provide one or more suitable places for the internment of persons dying within its limits,” which has been typically interpreted as requiring services for the indigent. Boston uses Fairview Cemetery in Hyde Park for this purpose, with unmarked numbered graves. (The regular cost of a double vault is $2,588.) There are more than 42,000 sites at Fairview and more than 195,000 in Mt. Hope Cemetery in Roslindale, the city’s largest. With the potential for another 2,000 sites in Fairview, and the redesign of some cemeteries to downsize roads and other unused space, the city hopes to meet the demand into the 2020s. EVOVLING AESTHETICS AND PRACTICES In medieval Europe, people were buried as close to the Church as possible, often in the ground immediately surrounding the building on which congregants walked, held markets, and celebrated festivals in what can be seen as a kind of public square. The rich and powerful were buried inside the Church, as close as possible to the alter.

    Cemetery Transcriptions - Volume 1 By Ginny and Katie Chung HOLY HOOD CEMETERY Transcribed May – June 2001 About the authors Ginny and Katie Chung are a mother-daughter team. Ginny has been the family historian researching her roots for over 20 years. Katie joined her mother in the last 5 years searching out long lost relatives and learning more about their family history. The majority of their family settled in the growing Irish and German sections of Boston in the early to late 1800’s. In 2000, Ginny and Katie traveled to Germany to meet their distant cousins and they have plans to go to Ireland in 2002. Ginny works full time as a manager at IBM and works on her hobby evenings and weekends. Katie is entering High School in the fall and enjoys horseback riding and soccer as well as dabbling in the family research with her mom. They are joined with their 2 men in their family who do not share the enthusiasm but are willing to be pulled along in the travels. Special thanks are to: - The men in our family – Kar and Karl Chung - Bob Kasaras from the Marlborough Cemetery Dept – for the loan of the Marlborough Cemetery maps so we could include them on the CD - John Buczek for helping get the word out - Holy Trinity Church Newsgroup who we shared some initial findings and were very helpful in correcting some of our attempts at reading the older headstones This document its content are copyright ©2001 by Virginia M Chung.
