Beautiful, historic, and peaceful cemetery filled with local legend and history. I visited recently to see jazz tenor saxophone legend Stanley Turrentine, buried in Section 26.
I think this is one of the greatest cemeteries in the U.S. Such a peaceful place full of deer, beautiful ponds, and incredible statues. I love taking walks through here.
