CHURCH CEMETERIES in DENMARK

The ordinary cemetery is taken to new heights by the obsessive Danes. Small, narrow hedges separate individual plots. Gravestones can be typical headstones or more often stones with unfinished backs laying on the ground. Not uncommonly there are two and occasionally three headstones in each plot. Each plot is also finished off with perennial plantings – small shrubs and flowers and with decorative elements. They are also well maintained – and these are all high maintenance graves.
