Bainbridge Grave Folk by Ashley Riley The histories and stories of cemeteries and their inhabitants on Bainbridge Island, Washington. But why cemeteries?

Did you know that Bainbridge Island has a total of 8 cemeteries and columbariums? Bainbridge Grave Folk is curated to educate, entertain and inspire the stories of cemeteries and their inhabitants on Bainbridge Island, Washington. Cemeteries are more than just burial grounds; they are a reflection of the communities they reside in. Our goal is to create a deeper connection between people and their

local cemeteries, and to foster a greater appreciation for the stories and lives that have come before us. We not only focus on the individuals buried within, but also on the history and culture of the surrounding area, bringing life to the stories of those who have passed on, as well as stories of the cemeteries themselves.

The video for Johnie Hoskinson has reached over 1/2 million views! 🎉 Here is a before and after of Johnie's headstone after it was cleaned in the summer 2025. (The gray coloring on the base was a shadow from a nearby tree). It may not look perfect yet, but you can see from the orange blushing on both the headstone and base that the biological solution is still continuing to work its magic, cleaning the headstone little by little over time.

Johnie's tragic story, and the epitaph written on his stone, is one of those that has stayed with me over the years.

"A precious one from us has gone
A voice we loved it stilled;
A place is vacant in our home,
Which never can be filled."
