I drive by a cemetery to take my dog for his run in the country. Passing the cemetery I notice a couple, ladies, walking relatively fast paced. I didn't notice a car. So I assumed they weren't visiting. I thought, now that's an idea. Way to avoid crowds and still get that morning walk in. I would have never thought to do that. But I don't go to cemeteries as a rule.

I was just in a cemetery, last week, for my father's funeral. I think it would be the perfect place to go for a walk (or run) as long as it was late at night or early in the morning so that one's physical activity would not obstruct any funeral proceedings. It is so nice and peaceful. I think it would be interesting to cool down in a cemetery, after a run, and read some grave stones. Great way to pay your respect to those that have passed before us. I was amazed, and saddened, at the number of younger people who have died. My trip o the cemetery helped me appreciate the longer life I have been given and all of the experiences I have had during the extra years. The funeral was in Arizona and I only plan on visitinf Arizona three to four more times in my life but will definitely visit my father's grave on each of those visits.

I have walked in one that was close to my home always very peaceful
-
While the creepy factor is understood, I've never walk through one...yet. 8)

To be honest I have never found a cemetery creepy, of course I've never strolled through a really decrepit one or anything, but most have been very peaceful and pleasant if they're nicely landscaped. I would do cemetery walks if there was one a little closer!
-
It would be a great place to walk or have some quiet time
-
So what popped into my head was "Did you really see these two ladies" ?? Lol could it be you know what ??? Something playing your eyes ? Were they fading into the light ??? But yeah anyways its somewhat a good idea but then again its kinda weird walking in that spot.

I love cemeteries. They're so peaceful and full of history. Of course, I research my family tree (and my husband's), so I've spent a lot of time searching for graves. Several years ago, I had a couple hours free between work and my night classes, so I went to a few cemeteries and photographed every single stone for the Find a Grave website. I've been meaning to do that again now that the weather is nice (and before the world goes back to normal). My old office building was across the street from a cemetery. On my lunch breaks, I considered going for walks through it, but I never did. I wasn't sure if anyone would think that it's disrespectful, since I wasn't visiting any graves. I guess maybe I could have.

I go to the cematery to be close to my husband who recently passed away.

Cemeteries don't bother me. There was a cemetery on my college campus near one of the art buildings that people would walk through. And, they show movies to large crowds in the Hollywood Forever Cemetery.
-
I walk my dog jack, a couple of times a day in my neighborhood. No real cemeteries nearby, but there are a couple of churches and a school yard walking path. Even though other people are out and about, it's no problem for us to social distance. :turkey:

Walking respectfully through a cemetery is a really good idea. I had never thought of that! It would be good exercise and a way for those who have come and gone before us to not be forgotten. The one my mother is buried in is very close to our home and very pleasant. I haven't been there in a long time as my mother passed away over 20 years ago. Might be time to take a little trip over to the cemetery to visit my mom's grave and to get a little exercise in. Thank you for the wonderful idea! :peace: :heart:
-
anyplace you can get a chance to get some fresh air is great and i agree i never thought of a cemetery
-
I walk around my block every morning, every day.
I try to walk as much as I can because it is the easiest
exercise available.
-
They are always peaceful and quite.
-
I find walking through the cemetery to be interesting. The older sections of the cemetery have headstones that go way back. Some are hard to read due to aging of the stones and or moss. A lot of history in some areas.....there might be 5 to 6 small headstones with names of a the children one family lost in a short time period.
-
I have always liked to read the headstones. Sometimes they are so funny that someone in the family really had a sense of humor. It is always interesting to see and read them.
-
I take a 15 minute walk twice a day as part of my recovery regimen ordered by my heart surgeon, but I never need to get more than half a block from my front door.
-
I walk around my block every other day and I have an exercise equipment at home when weather permits.

LOL now that you mention it, they weren't there when I came back around.

I find the cemetery to be very peaceful. I have people there, so I can visit them on my walk.
-
I do not have any cemetaries in close proximity to my home. I don't find them creepy, but not sure I would just want to walk through one for the exercise. To each is own though, we all have differences and if you like it go for it!

My in-laws are buried at a cemetery that is about a mile and a half away from our house. I've walked there on occasion, but don't find it overly peaceful there. Their headstones are about twenty yards away from the north edge that borders railroad tracks.

With 5 dogs, taking a walk now is everyday. They used to go to doggy day care, but they are all closed now, so off we go for walks. I’ll probably keep this up, I know it’s good for you, but when we open and it’s hot I bet off to the day care they go again! lol

You really do not need to go to a cemetery, to enjoy walks, just walk around your block, no need driving.

Assuming your have a "block" to walk around. Everyone does not live in little neighborhoods. There is a cemetery not far from me and I have seen people walking on the roads. Even riding bikes. Not a big deal although I am sure some would complain that they are disturbing the dead. ::) I am not overly interested in just walking around studying the tombstones but sometimes it is interesting to read the names. Any time I have been there for a burial I look at the stones around where we are. If I lived closer it is a good place to walk and I probably would walk there.

I especially like early morning walks in the neighborhood when our Roses are in full bloom
-
where i used to live it was much eaiser to walk outside. much quieter streets. sometimes i am able to walk in the parking lot. For now i have a half wall in my living and dining room that becomes my walking treadmill twice a day. i can't wait to get back to the gym but that is at least a month away! :rainbow: :peace: :wave:
-
I really look forward to my daily walks. My husband and I try to walk 3 miles each day through the neighborhood. I don't always make it the whole three, but always more than two. We don't have a cemetery close by, but I do believe it would be a lovely place to walk with a different "feel" all its own.

Wow! I would, too. They are beautiful! :rose::rose::rose:

I like to go on walks but haven't been on a long walk in the cemetery.

I live about a mile away from these two areas, so many of my warmer month walks take me there:
Shoreline Park (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGxasIrJRY0)
Jackson Street Pier (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDAux_MRVoA)
But not the best options in the wintertime!
Jackson Street Pier March 2017 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLjSUk8NiPg) (believe it or not, the same location as the above sunset video just one month prior!
The pier has been closed for about a year or so as they did some renovations - removed some of the asphalt parking and added some grass and other siting areas and some swings and seating. It is going to be a nice place to go once it is finished (https://www.facebook.com/cityofsandusky/videos/1013200779114741/) and it is safe to gather in groups once again.

Honestly idk if i could walk in one without getting creeped out. Mostly i walk around the neighborhood no issues very little people out since covid 19
-
did that until i got a bone spur
-
I used to walk but a cemetery on a daily basis when I lived up North. It used to give me the absolute creeps (and still does), but it was the only walking path in my town that was relatively safe.

As long as the ghosts don't jump out and grab you.

No, I've never walked through a cemetery as a daily walk. It's just too creepy. I've seen people walk around a mall on the weekend but not a cemetery.

Hi! :D :)
I think it would be strange to go to the Cemetery for my daily walks. I just don't feel comfortable dealing with death. I'm different that way. :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose:
