Alan and Karen Singer Jabbour’s Southeastern Kentucky Cemetery Photographs

These are photographs of southeastern Kentucky cemeteries made in 2008 by Karen Singer Jabbour as part of her and her husband Alan’s research for a book on Decoration Day and allied traditions such as “funeralizing.” The cemeteries are located in Kentucky’s Jackson, Rockcastle, Clay, and Madison Counties. Alan Jabbour’s detailed fieldnotes serve as a guide through the collection. Special features documented in the photographs include gravehouses, false crypts (box crypts), grave covers, and concrete headstones imbedded with marbles and other objects.
