About Me
Phil Crawford
"Taphophile"
Is a tombstone tourist and is described as a person who has a passion for and enjoyment of cemeteries, epitaphs, photography, art, and history of (famous) deaths.
Cemeteries have always been an important part of my life as I have served in the funeral profession at my family’s business for over three decades. I believe every person in life and in death all have a story to tell. In my case, the story I tell begins at the grave. Hope you find something interesting in my journey.
“The life of the dead is placed in the memory of the living”. – Marcus Tullius Cicero.
