Thanks for sharing your Wednesday walk. I always like looking at cemeteries on an incline.
There is a fantastic necropolis in Glasgow built onto a hill.
The average graveyard digger would ask for a flat surface 99 times out of a hundred but some factor drove these people to place their graves onto this sloping part of PEI. Intriguing.

Welcome and thanks @ozkdawg. I think they just went with the lay of the land. 😊
Probably the grave diggers preferences come last in cemetery planning.

I chuckle when you mention grave diggers. There was an elderly man who often sat in the bench at the grocery store. I asked someone who he was and they said, ‘That’s Gravedigger.’
He had dug graves in this area for years (sometimes by hand) and earned himself the nickname. I later found out his last name was McKenna.
