Bonaventure Cemetery sits on a steep bluff above the Wilmington River. The cemetery is considered a must see when visiting Savannah, mainly because the cemetery is a big part of the (nonfiction) "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil" book. There are guided tours by golf car, Segway and on foot. It is an interesting place, it is sold out but still has burials for lot owner's family members
I recommend a visit to Bonaventure when in Savannah, but Laurel Grove is the cemetery for photography. First burial in 1853, sold out by the 1890's and with few burials after about 1920 it has much more artistic memorials and lots of sculpture - also few visitors.
The bluff above the river at Bonaventure is stabilized with large rocks - mostly stone from the monument makers. They used cracked or broken stones and cutting mistakes and imbedded them in the bluff to stop erosion. I think this stone must have been used for that and washed out and fell.
