My Packing List for Cemetery Trips

I am a list maker from way back. I make to-do lists, grocery lists, packing lists, you name it lists. Lists help me to stay organized and I enjoy being organized, just ask my family! I thought I would share one of my lists with you, my cemetery visit packing list. Here is what I take when I visit a cemetery:


  • list of gravesites I need to visit

  • digital camera

  • notepad and pencil or pen

  • cemetery map, if available ahead of time.

  • supplies to help see the gravestones better: spray bottle of water, grass clippers, small whisk broom, flashlight
  • bug spray
  • hat for sun protection

  • old shoes


What do you take?

  3. Judy, I agree with the seat thing. My knees aren't what they use to be. Brenda

    Boy, I can't wait to go to a cemetery, maybe today, now that the weather has changed. Thanks for your post.

  5. A small, bright torch. A weathered inscription is sometimes easier to decipher if you shine light on it from different angles.
