For some reason, security will not let you take photos. I know, I was told not to.

Just found the actual policy:


Photography Policy

In an effort to protect the privacy of our lot owners, photography and videography is restricted to scenes of landscape and architectural designs. No photography of gravestones is permitted. The use of movie cameras and live models is strictly prohibited.

Persons desiring to take photographs or use film intended for publication or commercial use are prohibited from doing so without the written consent of Swan Point Cemetery. An application to publish photographs taken in the Cemetery must be made in writing and include proofs of the photos intended for publication along with an outline describing the article.

All visitors are expected to conduct themselves properly at all times, remembering that cemetery lots are private property of a very special kind and that their sanctity must not be invaded. It is the policy of the Cemetery to consider those who cannot or do not wish to conform to these rules and regulations as trespassers and treat them accordingly; requesting their departure or taking whatever action is deemed appropriate.

all I did was go into the office and fill out the paperwork and I photographed there for 7 months..you cannot photograph the names on stone that's all!
