Found the first picture and with some research I found where it was and WHAT A CEMETERY I could live there (whos with me we will call our cemetery town cemeterery and gallop and skip) But omg Wow Mount Auburn Cemetery in Massachusetts is worth a google I couldnt share enough cool pictures Mount Auburn Cemetery in Massachusetts, was founded in 1831 as Americas first garden cemetery or rural cemetery. With classical monuments set in a rolling landscaped terrain,[2] it marked a distinct break with Colonial-era burying grounds and church-affiliated graveyards. The appearance of this type of landscape coincides with the rising popularity of the term cemetery, derived from the Greek for a sleeping place. This language and outlook eclipsed the previous harsh view of death and the afterlife embodied by old graveyards and church burial plots.[3] The 174-acre (70 ha) cemetery is important both for its historical aspects and for its role as an arboretum. It is Watertown’s largest contiguous open space and extends into Cambridge to the east, adjacent to the Cambridge City and Sand Banks Cemeteries.
