As a taphophile, I enjoy learning about variations in burial practices within cultures and between different parts of the world. These cemetery themed trivia quizzes are a fun way to share that information with fellow Cemetery enthusiasts!
Why did I create these cemetery themed trivia quizzes? Well, I enjoy learning about the history of local graves! You know the saying: “if you want to learn something, teach it!” Creating these trivia quizzes is a fun way to share what I’m learning with others. You have probably seen blog posts and websites created by other Taphophiles. These often talk about the history of various cemeteries, and reports about the graves of celebrities. My goal is to create fun trivia quizzes to “test” your knowledge, or a fun way to help you learn something new! That often gives me an excuse to create a webpage about a cemetery, gravesite, or interesting historical fact!
As you can see from the sample questions below, there are 3 categories of quizzes: San Diego County, The United States, International (anything cemetery related outside of the United States).
