God’s Acre Beautiful: Or The Cemeteries Of The Future is a book written by William Robinson and published in 1880. The book is a detailed exploration of the concept of cemeteries and how they could be designed to be more beautiful and functional. Robinson argues that cemeteries should be seen as places of beauty and peace, rather than just as a final resting place for the dead. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which explores a different aspect of cemetery design. Robinson discusses the importance of natural beauty in cemeteries, arguing that they should be designed to blend in with the surrounding landscape. He also explores the use of plants and flowers in cemetery design, suggesting that they can be used to create a peaceful and calming atmosphere. Robinson also discusses the practical aspects of cemetery design, such as the layout of paths and roads, and the placement of graves. He argues that cemeteries should be designed to be easy to navigate and maintain, and that the placement of graves should be done in a way that respects the wishes of the deceased and their families. Overall, God’s Acre Beautiful: Or The Cemeteries Of The Future is a fascinating exploration of the concept of cemeteries and how they can be designed to be more beautiful and functional. It is a must-read for anyone interested in cemetery design, landscape architecture, or the history of burial practices.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
