Tombstone tourist

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A tombstone tourist is one who travels to visit cemeteries and sometimes photographing graves. Tombstone tourists usually are more interested in the historical aspects of graves, or looking for ancestry. Opponents of such tourists consider tombstone tourism as a morbid hobby, but tombstone tourists believe that a lot can be learned from cemeteries.
