Bart, >From the photo you shared with me, the Primrose cemetery (I presume the one in Germiston) seems to be in reasonably good condition.

Hello: I have been thinking the same thing since I went there recently. I would say the graveyard is in very good condition, Currently about 8-12 workers all cutting the grass with weed eaters, concrete wall all round the perimeter, the chap in the office was friendly etc. I would say this GY has a lot of 'good' headstones, meaning good clear headstones that will photo nicely. This GY never really looked big from the outside, but there is truly a lot of graves here. You are allowed to take your car or motorcycle inside, no bicycles. I would suggest photo taken before 15H00 otherwise falling sun brightness and shadow over the headstones etc., from 08H00 - 14H00 would be fine I think. All the sections are by tar roads. It would be a good time to photo since the cemetery has just been trimmed and very green. No grave numbers and no section names on signs. Visitors Hours: [Sept-Apr]: 08H00 - 18H00. [May-Aug]: 08H00 - 17H00. Office Hours: Mon-FRI: 08H00-12H00; 12H30-15H00. - .B.S. - ======================== -----Original Message----- From: Keith Meintjes Bart, >From the photo you shared with me, the Primrose cemetery (I presume the one in Germiston) seems to be in reasonably good condition.
