Doing genealogy got me interested in headstones and cemeteries. I have a side job where I clean headstones and this gives me a reason to visit a lot of different cemeteries. I’ve seen lots of types but the saddest are the abandoned ones. The worst was the one right next to a well maintained and visited one. In my area it’s a mix of family owned and a few privately owned. A privately owned is usually very large and full of headstones but usually the grass is cut, waste picked up etc. family owned are usually smaller and it can vary on the level of care. Sometimes the family maintains it the best they can or hire someone to. Other times the family doesn't or can’t. I’ve also seen some unique or sad headstones. Ones larger than most people, some small plaques in the ground and the saddest sights to see. Ones so old and damaged the name is practically or totally gone or in one case only the top part of it remains in a ditch line near the rest. In the end I’ve seen a lotta things at cemeteries. If you live in a place that has an abandoned cemetery contact your local government, historical society, the family who owns it Etc and offer to help if you’d like. Please never just show up and start trying to help without permission you maybe trespassing or doing accidental harm which could land you in hot water.
