The Pet Cemetery

This abandoned Pet Cemetery near Birmingham, AL was active and maintained for over 70 years. It became dilapidated after undesirables took over the nearby neighborhoods. The metal fences and gates, including the large steel sign that marked the pet cemetery, have been stolen to be exchanged for $2 at the closest scrapyard. All that remains of this place are the small, overgrown headstones above the graves. It is both ironic and sad that these animal owners put their companion's remains into a pet cemetery so that they would not be forgotten, and now the cemetery itself is forgotten.
