Yes, some may think it strange but I find old cemeteries and headstones 
interesting to explore. I figure its just an extension of my 
appreciation for all things old (including tractors).
  I do cemetery look-ups and headstone photos for other genealogists 
from other parts of the world, plus I have had others do the same for me.
We do have a few rural cemeteries here but I think some of them were 
originally Church sites. The Church having long since disappeared there 
is only the graveyard left. Most in this area are well maintained. A lot 
of the Sask. cemeteries are gradually being transcribed and put online 
for others to search which I think is a great idea.
