Thread: Graveyard Names

Tweet

I've been making tombstones the past few months, and find that I have enough insulation foam leftover to make a sign for my graveyard! Any suggestions as to what I should name my graveyard? I want more of a spooky than funny feel!

Maybe try connecting to the name of your neighborhood in some way. For example my addition is called Country Lane Estates so I named my yard haunt Old Country Lane Graveyard.

Also take a good look at your set up and see if you have any theme within it that you could pull a name from. I almost called my haunt "Black Skull Graveyard" because each of my entrace pillars have a skull on them I painted black.

I settled on Bloody Corners. I live in a small town and I live on 8th Ave but it's not a permanent address so I can't do anything there. I will actually be moving a few weeks after Halloween.

But, I found a list off Halloween related town names across the us and found that Bloody Corners seemed quaint and creepy at the same time!

Ours is "Myra Maines Cemetary"...

Not very original, but it does get people occasionally. =)

Our subdivision's name is Bearcreek Estates. Love to see a pic of your 'stones.

When I get them all done, I'll take a picture of them all together. They aren't fantastic, and I haven't been taking as much time on the painting, but they are ok. I have found that a woodburning tool is my friend though. You have to be careful, it melts the foam pretty fast, but it engraves quite nicely if done right.
