That's unfortunate because the area has some fascinating and interesting things about it. The old graveyard is pretty modest and most of the memorials are plain and simple. A few large gravestones but most are old and well worn. The ubiquitous yellow lichen that is so common on Cape Cod covers most of them and the whole cemetery is surrounded by ancient and impressive stone walls. One of the very cool things about this cemetery is that the rare Cape Cod prickly pear cactus can be found here in fairly large numbers. Many people are surprised to learn that an indigenous cacti can be found in parts of New England and although the cactus is uncommon, certain areas around Wellfleet and Provincetown still has fairly large colonies. One of those colonies of cacti happens to be in this cemetery. A small and inconspicuous old graveyard that offers a historic perspective of humans as well as an unique natural environment.

I always come in with my flowers to the funeral home and I always make a meal for the family for after the week they are very accommodating about putting it in the refrigerator if it's a cool meal or on the in the kitchen if it's hot meal and making sure the family I was accommodated when it's over. This time they had chocolates in the entryway where people sat and relaxed and talked with other family members etc. like a calling type room they had boxes of chocolates which are apparently the deceased favorite. I thought that was extremely thoughtful thing to do.

Murders and towers…read more The Saint Peter the Apostle Cemetery is famous or rather infamous because it is the final resting place of the notorious mass murder, Antone Casa. In 1969 he murdered and mutilated his girlfriend and at least 3 other women and possible up to 8 more. To make matter even worse the hearts and teeth were removed from the victims and there was evidence of necrophilia. Antone was sentence to die but ended up hanging himself in his cell. He now rests in an unmarked grave next to his mother. A very naughty fellow indeed. The rest of the cemetery is very pleasant, with rolling hills and even views of the very cool and tall Pilgrims Tower in the center of Provincetown. A fun place to walk around because of all the hills and cool memorials. When the wind is right you can smell the sea coming in off the breezes. An interesting cemetery that is actually very pleasant in the day. But of course at night all kinds of strange things have been seen and heard here. Souls that haven't been able to find peace. I've never seen or heard anything unusual but then ghost don't like me. A lovely and interesting old graveyard with a rather unpleasant past.
