Grave-L

Grave-L is the original list for taphophiles (literally "lovers of tombstones"). It focuses primarilly on the sociological, anthropological, historical, artistic, spiritual, folklore, and other nonmorbid aspects of cemeteries and sepulchral culture. We're not a Goth, horror, or genealogy list, though persons with such interests are welcome to join and participate in the discussion. Differences respected. Flaming not tolerated.

DeathLore-L

Deathlore-L is a sister list to the popular Grave-L, one that focuses on the mythology, folklore, customs, and religious beliefs surrounding death. It goes beyond mere skepticism and gullibility to explore the anthropological and sociological aspects of our mourning customs and beliefs about the afterlife. Civil disagreement is welcome: flames are not tolerated.

taphophile

taphophile is a mailing list where cemetery enthusiasts can socialize, plan cemetery crawls together, tell one another about interesting cemeteries (with directions), and talk about their recent adventures among the tombs. Members are asked to remain on friendly terms, to avoid debate, and never flame.
