Taphophilia (the love of cemeteries, gravestones, epitaphs, monuments etc)....otherwise known as 'Tombstone Tourism' and not at all uncommon.
I love old churches, but their graveyards fascinate and captivate. The older the better. The uncompromising skulls and crossbones and plain speaking to the wistful, figurative and poetic epitaphs and beautiful stone sculptures can keep me wandering around for hours.
I keep away after dark, though!
