Perpetual Care

I visited the Magnolia Cemetery today and I came across many family plots with this marker - Perpetual Care C.C.A. I can't imagine how the small amount initially paid could come close to providing this service today. There were so many graves that obviously haven't been visited by family members in last fifty years. But, those that were at least had the occasional veteran's flag or vase of flowers and fewer weeds.

I was especially drawn to the gated plots belonging to the former pillars of the community. Most, like the one below were in disrepair.

Thanks for visiting. I hope you enjoy my views of Augusta.
