    Thanks for featuring my great-great-great-uncle Anthony Bulos Karmy at 9:00 ! I had no idea he and his immediate family were here until several years ago, when I set about researching our history; you can imagine my astonishment at finding the family monument, one of the most prominent features of this beautiful cemetery. Anthony was a well-known figure around Blackpool in the 1900s and 1910s, and his wife and children continued the family business after his passing in 1916 - speaking of which, we were importers of 'fancy goods' and 'oriental goods', usually from Jerusalem, other parts of Palestine and the surrounding areas. Anthony was an expert wood carver, and sold many of his own creations in his shop on the North Pier, and several others dotted around the town. I keep meaning to go up and visit! Soon enough.

    I’m Native American and a retired Funeral Director, my main job was as an embalmer, I find these fascinating and beautiful. On my reservation we have mounds, and regular headstones, nothing as elaborate as these. Our cemetery is all dirt no beautiful grass , one area has a couple of trees and that’s it

    Totally loving your tours, so very relaxed, well spoken and beautifully done. (even when competing with the gardeners, without whom this would eventually not be possible)
    Thanks so much from Melbourne Australia
