Crypts at Hillcrest Cemetery-Villa Rica, Georgia
Carroll and Douglas Counties
These are some of the oldest crypts I’ve photographed in the state of Georgia. Located in Hillcrest Cemetery, I suspect these were made close to the time the cemetery was founded in 1826. There are no visible names on the crypts.
Moxley Cemetery Angel-Swainsboro, Georgia
