McBroom Cemetery, Kingston, AR
I thought I would re-post this because I love this cemetery!!!! And every time I visit it, it stills just sends a little chill down my back. I it just like looking at a field of coffins!!!
Anyway, enjoy the post and if you know anything about these kind of "markers" or grave tombs, please I would love to know more about them.

So, I need your help. I went to visit my brother in Arkansas this past weekend and we did a little ghost hunting around where he lives in Kingston, Arkansas. We came across the Mc Broom Cemetery that sits up on a hill all by itself.

I am very curious about these "coffin" shaped tombstones. The best I can find out is that back in the 1700's the stone coffin marker was set on top of the actual casket. I wish I could read the dates on the tombstones, but they had all eroded over time. I just think it is odd that I have been in some really old cemeteries and NONE of them had these kind of tombstones.
If you know anything about these coffin shaped tombstones I would LOVE to know about them. I posted several pics of this really "cool" cemetery.
So, what do you think? Aren't these really "creepy"? You should see them at night! lol
