Cemeteries

Features

Rhodes Cemetery This cemetery in a rapidly growing corridor of Austin provide echos of the area's rural past.

Pond Springs Cemetery What once was a quaint cemetery is getting encircled by strip malls, apartments and toll roads. Hope there's some rest still to be found here.

Champion Cemetery The small Champion Cemetery sits along the popular Brushy Creek Regional Trail, and it actually benefits from it.

Pedernales Falls Cemetery This is one cemetery that takes a bit of effort to get to, but there's plenty of solitude in store.

"My daddy never let anybody plow this end of the field," a local matron told a startled Galland during a visit to her antebellum mansion. "The slaves are buried there." Galland's subsequent effort to help restore just one of these cemeteries—Love Cemetery—unearths a quintessential American story of prejudice, land theft, and environmental destruction, uncovering racial wounds that are slow to heal.
