How many cemetaries can boast their own web site?

I spent last Saturday afternoon strolling through the beautiful cemetary in Recoleta taking photos. This is where the richest and most powerful families in Buenos Aires are buried and is chock full of cats that people have abandoned, adding to the calm and sombre feel.

I've posted some of the photos over on my Flickr page.
