Mt. Pleasant





Graves facing North/South indicate that the deceased died under mysterious
circumstances. This means the spirit cannot rest comfortably until they
determine the cause of death, and exact retribution.

This is representative of the tradition of burial with personal possessions (or other household items). These items are there for the spirit to use in the after-life.

Slave Grave

I prayed that on the day I died
Nobody else prominent would be dead
The obituary page was supposed to be all about me today.
Florence Mills, the greatest, died on my day
Look-a-here Lord,
I was a faithful servant
Over many a money year

-James Van Der Zee
