text: As others have mentioned it does seem a bit creepy deepy to a review a cemetery and b also see the categories for this location as Funeral Services Cemeteries AND Active Life However that is a perfect description of Elmwood Cemetery It is a stunning space of lush green grass ancient trees and flowering bushes and home to some of the oldest resting places in Charlotte nnDuring the daylight hours this space is a breeding ground for dog walkers joggers and pensive respectful photographers The winding roads are great for anyone who needs a bit of exercise and many of the gravestones are quite beautiful and interesting Many of the folks buried here were from the same wellestablished old money families who still reside in Charlotte today nnWhile it may seem odd to schedule a run in a cemetery I promise that you will not regret it at Elmwood Cemetery It is picturesque interesting and of course quite quiet
