Our first was a Masonic Lodge cemetery off of Old Kings Road in Palm Coast, Fl. We never took any pictures, actually we weren't prepared or didn't know what to expect. We'll have to go back and take some shots of it, but it was this cemetery that showed us the neglect that loved ones are resting in. Another cemetery that we have explored showing neglect is Woodlawn Cemetery in St John's County, Florida.

Though not all of Woodlawn Cemetery is neglected.

In the same neighborhood of Woodlawn Cemetery is Evergreen Cemetery (not neglected and pretty awesome place to visit-we will posted about it at a later time) but located behind it are two very neglected cemeteries called San Sebastian and Pinehurst. Evergreen, Pinehurst, and San Sebastian cemeteries are also located in St. John's County, Florida.

We come across some information at the Florida Division of Historical Resources which provides some information on the cemeteries that were found to be abandoned or neglected. It also provides information about the laws concerning cemeteries and human remains. Until next time...
