I thought I read somewhere that the cemetery in Halifax was in the shape of the Titanic/ship or maybe the bow of the ship? But can't seem to find where I read it or if someone told me.
Does anyone know |

I found this in a 1998 booklet, so this information might be changed by now or not.
The Baron de Hirsch Cemetery is not normally opened to the public |

You can get permission to go to the Baron de Hirsch cemetary from the synagouge that runs it - if you're interested I'll see what I can do.

Does anyone know[/quote:17665b0024] Betty, I think it is. I have seen pictures of that cemetery your talking about and it does look like the bow of the ship. :) |

teamtuna,
I did not know you had to get permission to go into certain cemeteries. The ones near me you do not have to, is it only certain denominations? |

The Baron de Hirsh is because it's full - that's what usually happens. If a cemetary is full, then the groundskeepers, etc., aren't around as much, so there's greater potential for desecration of graves and stuff. So they close the cemetary for security reasons. I also understand (I've never been there) that it's a bit further out of town than the other two, so doesn't get nearly as many visitors.
