Palm Groves, which is Liberia’s oldest cemetery, has epithets dating as far back as 1820. Few years ago, scenes of the Second Wednesday at Palm Groves had been very lively, including wailing, music, singing, dancing and people selling various merchandizes. Madam Taylor wrote the Plenary of the Senate requesting the body to put halt to the ongoing demolition of the Palm Groves cemetery. Speaking to Frontpage Africa, many relatives are unwilling to go to the cemetery and give their dead relatives a befitting decoration. Last year Palm Groves Cemetery was emptied.
