A necropolis is a large ancient cemetery with elaborate tomb monuments. The word is derived from the Ancient Greek νεκρόπολις nekropolis, literally meaning "city of the dead".
While the people interred here may not be ancient, they are a part of this blog's "city of the dead." I hope you enjoy your walk among the tombstones and the stories you find here.
