Caroline the Koimetrophile A koimetrophile (coimetrophile) is someone who loves spending time in cemeteries and burying grounds. Live in or are visiting central New England?

On this page I share images, videos, and information about the cemeteries I visit, and stories of their permanent residents. Let me give your group a live cemetery presentation or walking tour. Don't live in central New England? I can give those same presentations and walking tours virtually!

Spent this rainy day giving tours of my DAR chapter’s 1774/1833 chapter house. Here’s a gorgeous gravestone I saw on one of my cemetery trips last month.

Monument Monday

This marble gothic monument memorializes Colonel Timothy Bigelow.

Col. Bigelow was born in 1739 in what is now Auburn, MA and became one of Worcester’s most patriotic citizens before and during the American Revolution. He returned home after the war and was unable to find work. He died in debtor’s prison in 1790. His family moved to Groton, MA and thrived.

This monument was placed over his grave by his great-grandson, Timothy Bigelow Lawrence, in 1861.
