  Granite, Oklahoma - Comecos Cemetery

  Comecos Cemetery is in the town of Granite. It's a fake cemetery with awesome headstones.

  [Michelle Carrizales, 07/27/2021]

  The cemetery was the project of a Texas horse doctor and his wife, "just for the fun of it" according to its own marker. In 2006 they decided that the stones should be moved from their veterinary clinic in Wichita Falls, Texas, to the town where the granite tombstones had been made.
