Focused on photographing female figures, both earthly and angelic, at Woodlawn Cemetery and Mausoleum in Santa Monica, CA earlier this week.

Tombstone Tuesday ~ July 20, 2010
Wondering if she was a contestant on The Price Is Right, or just an all-around bargain hunter. Whoever purchased this marker was #1 in my book, love the design. Sweet.

Woodlawn Cemetery and Mausoleum (Santa Monica, CA)

- Exploring History From The Ground Up!
I enjoy spending time exploring cemeteries, reading and photographing headstones of celebrities and civilians alike, and learning about the lives and deaths of these so-called "permanent residents" of the graveyards and mausoleums. This blog chronicles those experiences.

I am a proud member of The Association of Graveyard Rabbits!
In addition to this blog, some of my older material is archived at Buried Treasures at LisaBurks.com
One of the cemeteries I'm most interested in these days is Grand View Memorial Park in Glendale, Calif. I wrote about its legal problems for the LA Daily News' community hub, ValleyNews.com from August 2006 to December 2008, when Valley News ceased operations. In response to reader requests to have one central source of information, I created and continue to maintain Grand View Memorial Park (dot) Info.
"We've gotten a front-row seat to all the twists and turns taking place at the beleaguered cemetery, Grand View Memorial Park, from an intrepid citizen journalist named Lisa Burks." ~ Jason Kandel, ValleyNews.com Editor, 12/28/2006
