    Is this on Easter Island?

  2. jam says:

    There’s something gravely wrong about this fail.

  3. Just doing a drugs survey…
    *wanders around with a clipboard*

  4. The Moomin says:

    Must be the setting for the sequel to Versus. Best zombie film ever.

  5. OMFG juice says:

    I wish my parents died here :<

  6. Private_Danza says:

    Thank you for using our facility.
    Come back soon.

    • Black Garnets, the fanged werebunny, developer of amusement park for short people. says:

      The only cemetery with repeat customers. Unfortunately, some return to complain.

  7. Arthur Eld says:

    The funniest cemetery name I have seen so far was in L.A.: Hollywood forever.

  8. tapdog says:

    Hi, Please don’t call me a troll but I just want to say thank you to all the regulars. Reading your witticisms for the last three weeks has kept me sane while waiting to hear if my company is closing down. No real answers yet but light at the end of the tunnel.

  9. wutyoulookinat says:

    Necromancy anyone?

  10. Karl says:

    Resurrection is an important concept in the Bible. After Jesus was crucified, Joseph of Arimathea had Christ’s body placed in his own tomb. A large stone covered the entrance and soldiers guarded the sealed tomb. On the third day, a Sunday, several women (Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, Joanna and Salome are all mentioned in the gospel accounts) went to the tomb at dawn to anoint the body of Jesus.

    A violent earthquake took place as an angel from heaven rolled back the stone. The guards shook in fear as the angel, dressed in bright white, sat upon the stone. The angel announced to the women that Jesus who was crucified was no longer in the tomb, “He is risen, just as he said.” Then he instructed the women to inspect the tomb and see for themselves. Next he told them to go inform the disciples.

    With a mixture of fear and joy they ran to obey the angel’s command, but suddenly Jesus met them on their way. They fell at his feet and worshiped him. Jesus then said to them, “Do not be afraid. Go tell my brothers to go to Galilee. There they will see me.”

    When the guards reported what had happened to the chief priests, they bribed the soldiers with a large sum of money, telling them to lie and say that the disciples had stolen the body in the night.

    After his resurrection, Jesus appeared to the women near the tomb and later at least twice to the disciples while they were gathered at a house in prayer. He visited two of the disciples on the road to Emmaus and he also appeared at the Sea of Galilee while several of the disciples were fishing.

  11. 2wm says:

    “i don’t want to be buried in a pet sematary. i don’t want to live my life again.”

  12. HVObserver says:

    “Jesus said:
    ‘I am the resurrection.
    If anyone believes in Me, even though he dies, he will live,
    and whoever lives and believes in Me
    will never die.
    Do you believe this?”
    (John 11:25-26)

    In other words: ULTIMATE EPIC WIN!!!

  13. conanabanana02 says:

    Maybe because I have a Resurrection Cemetery (famous one on Archer Ave near Chicago) near me, but I don’t see anything wrong with the name. :-/

    • sauerkraut says:

      come a little bit closer, conana. …

    • Avis says:

      Resurrection Mary is said to haunt that cemetery.
      (And is how she got the name)

      • sauerkraut says:

        Mary with a cherry (tree)?

        • ergy says:

          No, Mary in a white dress. Hitch-hikes along Archer Ave. at night. Only seen by males. Legend says she was murdered on her prom night and is still looking for a ride to the dance. Since Acher Ave. effectively ends at another old, allegedly haunted cemetery (locally known as “Monk’s Castle”) this a favorite “dare”cruise of teen guys.
          Being female & having family buried at both cemeteries, I have never seen anything out of the ordinary…but not for want of looking!

          • Ryannon says:

            We lived next to a cemetery briefly when I was little while our house was being built. My oldest brother was sure it was haunted, especially on Thursday and Friday nights. When we got older, it dawned on him that Thursday and Friday nights were when people got paid. Lots of people drank their paychecks together in the cemetery each week.

            • ergy says:

              MmmHmm. I’ve lived about 100 yards from a cemetery my entire life. Generally it’s awesome. The residents (and their increasingly rare visitors) are so quiet that tons of “wild” animals (deer, fox, hawks, woodchucks, & lately coyotes) call it home. There are the occasional ten-teens-to-a-six-pack parties, but it’s just neighborhood kids doing the same thing we old farts did at that age…ah, youth.

            • conanabanana02 says:

              Ever been to Bachelor’s Grove? That place is kind of creepy. I am hellbound and deterimined to get a picture of a ghost there!

  14. sauerkraut says:

    entropy, AE?

  15. CS says:

    does anyone else see the ghost-like haze in front of the left side of the sign?

  16. Black Garnets, the fanged werebunny, developer of amusement park for short people. says:

    Welcome to Resurrection Cemetery. Despite being only a city block in size, we receive a vast amount of business from intended vampires, zombies (both for transition and fine dining), and mystics/shamans. Resurrection Cemetery: Where our costumers are too happy to complain.

  17. Buffy says:

    I think I’m going to like this place!

  18. Down the St. Loo says:

    Cemetary name no fault. The fail is those who are too uneducated to understand it, even if you don’t believe. The BIG FAIL is, “Err, you know it isn’t real, right?” Hey, its called RESPECT FOR PEOPLE’S FAITH.

    btw, its not my faith, but I still understand and respect it.

  19. Avis says:

    *heads off to breakroom*
    There’s cake in there right? If not, there’ll be turducken in a few hours.

    • ¡Great Scott! Me transmitte sursum, caledoni says:

      YAY! It’s Turducken day! You’ll have to let us know how it was. I want to try one, but can’t convince Ms. Scott.

      • Avis says:

        So far, it’s easy. It came pre-assembled and pre-stuffed (cajun cornbread). All I had to do was put it in the oven. I did have to buy some chicken broth to baste it with, but that’s it. I’m off to start the green bean casserole :ick:
        (It’s as per request, so that’s why I’m making it)

      • Black Garnets, the fanged werebunny, developer of amusement park for short people. says:

        Why is she anti-Turducken? Is it the “turd” part?

      • You are Mrs. Scott should c’mon down and visit here in Dallas. I’ll get a good Turducken from my favorite butcher shop in Louisiana and fix y’all a cajun feast!
        Whoo boy – the saturated fat, sodium, cholesterol, and sugar in this Southern and Cajun food is going to kill me, but it sure is good to be back home!

  20. Hanover Fist says:

    Yes, the fail here is not the name of the cemetery; the fail is found in the people on this website who for some reason think that naming a cementery after the central tenent of a world religion is some kind of fail because it reminds them of pop culture zombie movies. Fail.

    • Preacher's Daughter (Butterfly) says:

      It’s called a sense of humor. Get one, they’re not expensive.

    • granny says:

      does it make you want to fist yourself?

    • MRN ♂ says:

      I’m willing to run with that theme if you are. Continue.

    • Hanover Fist says:

      I have a fine sense of humor. In fact I can detect very easily when something is funny–many things on the web site are–and when something is just stupid–this for instance. Having a sense of humor doesn’t mean one laughs at everything indiscriminately. Even the Fail blog is not above failing. This entry is a great example of that.

      • granny says:

        can I interest you in a potato?

      • ¡Great Scott! Me transmitte sursum, caledoni says:

        If you find this fail stupid, why are you still here, hmmmmm???

        • Hanover Fist says:

          Because I find the “fail” of the people who think this is funny to be even funnier.

        • DeepInTheHeart says:

          In all seriousness, Scottie, I thought the fail was cute. But the response of the FailPeeps has been really hard to take. I have a sense of humor and I understand a lot of people don’t believe these things. It’s still hard.

          I’m having such a crappy day. *depression*

          • MRN ♂ says:

            Aw, hope all gets better. Remember, your faith never promised you a smooth ride, just a safe landing!

            • *squeezies for everyone!*
              thanks MRN

              One thing I’ve learned is that tough times don’t last, you just have to outlast them.
              “If you’re going through hell, keep going!” – Winston Churchill

          • Black Garnets, the fanged werebunny, developer of amusement park for short people. says:

            I think the fail is funny/cute outside of the view of this being a christian cemetery and basing the fail on the function of cemeteries. The way it’s taught in my mother’s church, you shouldn’t name a cemetery after an act only Jesus could do, as if everyone else could. Just like AE stated, there is no “resurrection” just eternal life in heaven or hell.

            Did anything bad happen, or are you just feeling depressed? *offers blueberry muffin*

            • Man, I’m so sorely tempted to preach from the Bible today and make a case for the Resurrection but this isn’t the venue. (I recommend books by Josh McDowell and Lee Strobel for you thinkers.)

              I have some health issues that are just wearing me down right now. Particularly pain and exhaustion from Fibromyalgia (among other chronic conditions).

              Mmm. Blueberry! Thanks for the encouraging words and noms.
              *squeezies*

              • Ryannon says:

                I hope your pain subsides soon and gives you a reprieve. It never goes away, you just have some better days than others.

              • Black Garnets, the fanged werebunny, developer of amusement park for short people. says:

                *extra squeeze for your bad day*

              • Preacher's Daughter (Butterfly) says:

                (Butterfly lands on DitH’s shoulder.) Peace be with you, and warm compresses on the parts that hurt.

                Nobody here who’s a regular really means any harm. Sometimes the witty poniards do draw blood, though. It’s the there-again-gone-again trolls with the ad hominem attacks that get my wings in a knot. The good thing about these sites – If we don’t enjoy a particular conversation, another one will start up in a few minutes (currently ignoring the new Fail – poor parakeet!)

          • sauerkraut says:

            Here, have some chocolate. This Jos. Schmidt truffles are to die for!

  21. granny says:

    burying the dead is so 80’s, it should be reserrection semenatory

  22. The Moomin says:

    On a side note. . .

    How annoyed would you be if you were ressurected after cremation?

  23. chez says:

    Sealed lead lined coffins. I’m just saying…

  24. Hanover Fist says:

    If this is a fail, then we should (smirk) put up a picture of the Empire State Building. (Ha, ha) Because it has “Empire” in the name. Get it? “Empire” (ho, hooo!) and that means Darth Vader must live there. (Guffaw!) It is such a fail.

    (If you don’t think so then obviously you have no sense of humor.)

    • The Moomin says:

      Darth Vader lived a long time ago in a galaxy far far away. Why would they have taken his ashes and transported them to Earth for burial?

      • Hanover Fist says:

        I know! That (ha, ha) is what makes it so funny!

        If you don’t think it is funny, it is because you have no sense of humor and why are you here anyway? (Ho, hoo!)

      • Black Garnets, the fanged werebunny, developer of amusement park for short people. says:

        But the Empire State Building was built and named before the movie. So wouldn’t the fail be that the Sith used the name without permission, and that nothing resembles the building?

        • The Moomin says:

          The building resembles the building.

          • Hanover Fist says:

            But is has the word “Empire” in it. (Ha, Ha.) We all know that means Darth Vader (smirk). It is such a fail–just like the cemetery.

            You need to lighten up and get a sense of humor.

            • The Moomin says:

              Resurrection is the act of rising from the dead, and would still be that, even if there were no zombie movies.

              Irrespective of the fact that there have been many empires throughout history, you think Darth Vader somehow has comedy value. Surely Emperor Palpatine is a better representative of the Empire than Darth Vader?

              • Hanover Fist says:

                Yes, you’re right! It is Emperor Palpatine! Now it is even funnier. (ho, hoooo!)

              • Black Garnets, the fanged werebunny, developer of amusement park for short people. says:

                What about pre-christian Roman Empire jokes? Can we make those?

                Yeah, Moomin, the belief of resurrection pre-dates Christianity and is a notion in many cultures.

        • Hanover Fist says:

          Only if you also think that the fail should given to all the Zombie movies, because there were cemeteries named “Ressurection” long before the movies came out.

          • Ryannon says:

            I think we met your cranky cousin Whateves yesterday. It must be a good time at the family reunions.

            • Hanover Fist says:

              Cranky? Not at all. I am enjoying myself very much.

              You have to love the irony. People come here to laugh at others’ foolish mistakes and failures, but have no sense of humor when it comes to their own.

              This entry of the cemetery is a meta fail–it is a failure at being a failure.

              And those defending it, just make it that much better. I love it.

    • sauerkraut says:

      Oh goody… we’ve now been visited by the Emperor Non Sequitur.

  25. ogrady says:

    You guys always start without me!

  26. ogrady says:

    What skullduggery is this?

    • Preacher's Daughter (Butterfly) says:

      “Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him, Horatio, a fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy.” … “Where be your gibes now? Your gambols, your songs, your flashes of merriment that were wont to set the table on a roar?” (Hamlet, V, i)

  27. Sassy says:

    If this is the Resurrection Cemetery in Chicago it has a famous ghost

  28. Cass says:

    That was the name of the cemetery from Return of the Living Dead.

  29. ZombieApocalypse says:

    Hey, my not-so-final resting place!
    :lol:

    • Brewski says:

      You finally got a fail tailor-made for you! Try it on for size!

      • xAn says:

        And if you’re not ABSOLUTELY CONVINCED it will fit, then apply for our 30-day, hassle-free, money-back, etc. warranty!

        All you have to provide is the shovel to dig yourself out, and we’ll take care of the rest!

        ~A fragment of wit derived from the great Prophet, INFOMERCIAL

  30. Rebecca says:

    A necromancers wet dream

  31. There is a Resurrection cemetery in Woonsocket RI. This may be it.

  32. Eugen says:

    Lmao pally’s and preists need to start to get to work

  33. tmbgfan1234 says:

    I don’t know why this is so odd. There are Resurrection Cemeteries all over the place. It’s a rather common name for a cemetery.

  34. ben says:

    heyyyy! im not 100% sure but i believe this is in Lenexa, KS.
    at least if its not there is one by the exact same name less than a mile away from where i used to live a few years ago

    right on 83rd street somewhere between Quivera road and Pflumm road
    ^^ google earth it or something

  35. John V says:

    I don’t think FAIL blog was around in 2002, but I was thinking the exact same thing when I took this photo: http://www.flickr.com/photos/efdisaster/1796131402/

  36. Draewelyth says:

    Title win :D

  37. Failerella says:

    Jesus, does anyone even make the slightest attempt to scan these anymore, or does anything with a FAIL caption get posted? This has to be an all time record for biggest fail to be a Fail.

    • fangs073 says:

      ITT: People who understand the concept of the Resurrection of Christ and people who’ve watched too many zombie movies.

  38. johnston65 says:

    Holy crap! My grandpa is buried there!

  39. Karsten69 says:

    Isn’t this where WoW would be in real life?

  40. Lifeguard says:

    surely this is actually a Zombie Win?

  41. Joshua says:

    hahahaha Christians believe people are resurrected from the dead.

    As Zombies!

    LOL, TARDS!

  42. Guinastasia says:

    Meh. My dad’s a funeral director. I’ve seen cemeteries with names like that. It’s mostly a religious or metaphorical concept.

    Not a big deal. Amusing, but I wouldn’t call it a fail.

  43. Snamb says:

    hmmm… i could open a brain market near it…..

  44. Adrian says:

    There’s actually one off NW Expressway and Rockwell in OKC, OK. Seriously. My grandpa will walk the Earth again and eat all our brains one day!!!

  45. Daniel says:

    Hi!
    This is best funny site i know, great job guys!!

    I understood the joke is about zombies, etc.

    But i felt this time i should comment.
    A lot of people know the idea about reincarnation, taught by some religions, specially some trends in Buddhism.
    But i think the idea here is a bit different. Ressurection is actually what God promises to all mankind through his Scriptures. Check it yourself: John 5:25-29.
    Therefore it is a quite serious thing we can all rely on. Big WIN for this cemetery!

  46. Rachel says:

    This is, indeed in Justice, IL. I live less than 10 minutes away from there. I’ve always wondered why they would choose that name though. It is also home to the popular legend Resurrection Mary.

    • Clay Veronica says:

      That’s right, I have an uncle buried there, and my father’s second wife is there also, and also her mom. When I was younger I thought the name was funny but never figured it a fail. It’s a perfectly appropriate name for a cemetary, really. When you’re a certain age you’re easily amused at stuff for being obvious or something I guess.

  47. Chabi says:

    Drove by this sign on my trip to Hershey . . . glad to see it mae it to Failblog.
