These pictures were taken during the 1997 Memorial Service and by one of our members while she and her children visited the garden.
In Victorian times the cemetery was a place to visit, to linger and picnics were shared there. Cemeteries were like parks and part of the family's reality. In Atlanta each October the victorian cemetery, Oakland, is revisited with these memories.
SHARE Atlanta's garden and bench, with a duck pond just down the hill, is there in hopes of encouraging folks to visit and find peace in this quiet, pretty setting. Some have loved ones buried there others, like this family, go there for a place of comfort and peace.
