Would you live next to a cemetary?

[transparant]

I don't think it would bother me to much. Besides...I could finally say to my kids "WOULD YOU ALL BE QUIET BEFORE YOU WAKE THE DEAD!!!" and really mean it

i dont know....My friend lives across the street from 1 and its preetty freaky!!
But i agree if they stay dead it shouldn`t be a problem!

 

[dizneenut]

No way!

I've lived down the street from a cemetary for about 15 years and honestly I've never thought twice about it. I never considered it a pro or a con, you hardly even know it's there except when there's a huge funeral going on and the procession goes by the house with the police escort. Actually, they have some of the most beautiful and cared for landscaping in the whole area.

Brings back memories...

I lived on Cemetery Rd. -right next to the cemetery -for four years.

Funny you should ask this because last night my family just talked about this! We rode by a new house that was built right in front of a cemetary. Now we are kinda "looking" for a new house and I remember when this house was on the market. It seemed lower than other new houses and then I found out where it was. We decided not to look at it so I guess my answer would be no I would not live next to a cemetary.

My grandparents lived a few houses down from a cemetary when I was growing up. We used to love to go down there--we could ride our bikes on the paths and we'd go visit my great-grandmother, who I had adored as a child, and put flowers on her grave. My dad would honk at her every time we drove by and now I continue that tradition.

Now I go visit my grandparents, my aunts & uncles and cousins, and my mother's friends. I think having a connection with the people buried there is helpful and makes it so it's not a scarey experience at all. Sure, I'd live by a cemetary.

I would LOVE to live next to a cemetery. I love them. I love the peacefulness. I love the historical factor. Actually, it's my goal to live near one someday.

Wouldn't bother me at all. I love nice, quiet neighbors!

When we were house hunting, there was a very nice house accross the street from a cemetary, dh would even look at it.

Well...it depends. When you say parking lot, is this where your unit would park or do you have a garage attatched. It is always a plus to be able to see your vehicle. Is this view from the front or the back?

It is an outdoor parking area where the tenants park their cars in front of the building

It would not bother me at all, I find cemetaries peaceful.

My mom lived next to a cemetary when she was a kid. She said it didn't bother her at all and that she used to play w/ her friends in it! She said it wasn't scary. I don't know how I'd feel about living next to deceased bodies.

When I was a kid we lived next door to a really cool cemetary in Ferndale California. It has been featured in a couple of movies, I think because of its historical value. We used to play hide and seek in and amongst the headstones and mausoleums. It was especially fun at night.

Color me wierd but, sometimes when my family and I are travelling if there's and old cemetary my family and I will visit.

It wouldn't bother me at all!

As long as the cemetary is across the street or next door, not right underneath my house (a la Poltergeist) I'd be okay with it!

 

[brerrabbit]

Any cemetary, No. I don't think I could handle that. If it was my family cemetary yes. Our family cemetary is in a little place called Benchely, Texas and I could live next to it. I'm related to everybody there so I think I that would be cool. I find it very peaceful and relaxing there. It's also where I plan to be buried.

 

[MamaLema]

It would not bother me at all. In fact, I think I would enjoy the quiet.

Cemetaries are nice to stroll through and I even enjoy looking at all the headstones

 

[Fantasmic303]

It's funny - my grandmother lived across the street from a cemetary for most of my mom's life, and my sisters and I practically grew up there. I never even considered that someone might NOT want to live that close to the place!

We used to take walks with Gram, have picnics in the sun, just enjoy the relative peace and quiet. Like others have said, if the cemetary is one that is well-kept and open, I think it'd be a very pretty place to live near.

 

[HTH]

Man, I'd love to live next to a cemetary! Yes, I am that morbid

 

[MUFFYCAT]

It depends on how close. I went to a high school that was surrounded by a cemetary. The school was on the bottom of the hill, so if we left earlier that we should have, we use to have to cut through the cemetary.
I remember running through on a rainy day, and your feet would sink a bit.
All I could think about was I going to sink so much that i would feel the graves. What can I say? I was 16

I lived next to a cemetery when I was little. We used to crawl under a really old pine tree to see some of the old, forgotten tomb stones. I loved it. My mom reminds me of the time I stole some of the flowers and used them to decorate my room! ugh, I don't remember that.
