Ken Naegele, of Cincinnati, has a prominent presence in Ohio and beyond due to his frequent excursions exploring cemeteries whether they be large or small, city or rural, well-kept or abandoned.
Ken calls himself a "Necro Tourist"; and he is doing a great service by sharing his experiences from his walking tours of the land of the dead. He provides a voice for those long lost souls no longer here to speak for themselves; but would cry out to be heard by us now if only they could, and
ask us if we care about the state of their final resting places.
Through his photographs and descriptions, Ken is bringing a greater awareness to the general public of the reality of deteriorating conditions that pervade so many of our cemeteries today, and sadly have been doing so for far too long. Conversely, if he finds one in a well-cared for condition, he lets us know that too!
