How NOT to Run a Cemetery: Examples from Louisville and Jefferson County (Program)
1:00 pm to 3:00 pm
1000 South Hurstbourne Parkway (at Linn Station Road), Louisville, KY
Presented by: Professor Phil DiBlasi
In the early days of Kentucky, deceased family members were interred in plots on the family farm. As small townships formed, public cemeteries were established. Over the years cemeteries used all their space but convenient urban land became more sparse and expensive. Some cemetery owners or managers began practices that were sometimes illegal and often immoral. Now, archeologists and other concerned parties are engaged to try to determine the resulting problems and devise remedial action.
