by Kevin W. Dougherty and Michael P. Dougherty GARDEN CEMETERIES

As Londoners continued to run out of space to bury their dead by the mid-nineteenth century, town planners and architects turned toward more rural areas for additional space. In these new spaces, the concept of “garden cemeteries” was born, which combined sweeping roads for carriages, smaller paths for strolling, and carefully planned landscaping to create a private, landscaped park with a central chapel. Thirty years later, a more practical approach to cemetery layout utilized a more effi cient grid-like layout, which further promoted the idea of a cemetery as an educational, contemplative, and dignifi ed environment that met the Victorian standards of the age. After World War I, the ravages of war forced the English to switch to more understated design. A funeral is a meaningful event that can help ease the pain of separation that naturally accompanies death. It is a time of sharing good memories and experiences with family and friends. It is a time when respect, concern, and appreciation for a life that has been lived can be expressed in a sincere manner. To learn more, please call KEVIN W. DOUGHERTY FUNERAL HOME at (585) 346-5401. Please feel welcome to visit our facilities at Livonia and Honeoye, NY. QUOTE: “Graveyards are for the living, not the dead.” ~ Heather Brewer
