@Ciell As one of who joined the group, I can say it is not the charm of the cemetery itself, but the particularities of the local culture and the history (many of the personalities are buried, often the texts on the funeral stones are real poems and the funeral stones themselves are cultural heritage). Just think to Campo Verano https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Campo_Verano and Protestant Cimitery https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protestant_Cemetery,_Rome (Keats, Shelley, Gramsci and many other) in Rome, Staglieno https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monumental_Cemetery_of_Staglieno in Genoa, Merry Cimitery https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merry_Cemetery in Săpânța (Romania) etc.

Hi everyone!
I'm very happy to announce that the Affiliations Committee has recognized [1] Wiki Cemeteries User Group [2] as a Wikimedia User Group. The group aims to collaborate around the scope of cemeteries with existing Affiliates; connect with new partners and editors, especially in the
field
of traditional genealogy; understand cultural sensitivities around the theme of cemeteries; understand cemetery culture, including the role of caretakers, specialty items (e.g. flags for veterans, flower wreaths),
and
so forth.
Please join me in congratulating the members of this new user group!
Regards,
Rosie Stephenson-Goodknight
Chair, Affiliations Committee
