This month's featured cemetery is Old City Cemetery located in Duval County, Florida. It is also known as Old Jacksonville City Cemetery. It was established in 1852.
It offers a wide variety of different types of markers, headstones, and monuments. Some of them are very unique.
The mausoleum above is for Princess Laura Adorkor Kofi who was assassinated in the pulpit in Miami, Florida.
This cemetery is also the resting place of many confederate soldiers and sailors.
And as with most cemetery this one is not free of vandalism.
We also found out that this cemetery was used in the filming of "Insane in the Brain", though we are not too sure on how correct that information is...until we locate a copy of the movie and watch it. So if you are ever in Jacksonville, Duval County, Florida stop by and check out Old City Cemetery.
