theskyandtheimpossibleexplode:

Taphophilia is a passion for and enjoyment of cemeteries. The singular term is a taphophile.

Taphophilia involves epitaphs, gravestone rubbing, photography, art, and history of (famous) deaths. An example of an individual’s expression of taphophilia is the character Harold in the movie Harold and Maude (1971).

Taphophilia should not be confused with necrophilia, which is a sexual attraction to corpses.

GPOY (not the necrophilia part obviously) to the point where I have about 300 photos of my local graveyard on this laptop. It’s a lovely sunny day today so I think I might have to have a wander around it again :).

  Until now, I was completely unaware that there’s such a term for one of my traits.
