Dogs In Cemeteries

[MsDulwich]

Are you a regular visitor to Camberwell Old Cemetery? I always find it disrespectful when I go to a relatives grave to pay my respects and see dogs running all over the graves. Especially when there are so many parks and open areas nearby.

What do you think?

I don't know Camberwell but Nunhead cemetery has lots of dog walkers, joggers etc in there and i quite like it. It makes the place feel a bit more used. That said, Nunhead cemetery is a bit of a nature reserve so it doesn't feel that out of place.

Yes I know what you mean about Nunhead Cemetery, it's a historic cemetery with lots of walkers enjoying the history and nature of it, but Camberwell Old Cemetery is largely still in use, which is mainly where all the dogs are walked.

Do you think you would feel differently if you were paying respects to someone buried there?

I once approached a person who was playing music very loudly in a cemetery, which I thought was very inappropriate, only to be very embarrassed when she said it was her father's favourite song which she played him whenever she visited his grave :-$
