Dianne and Jennie have often discussed cemeteries that have been moved, meaning the dead have been disinterred and moved to a new burial site. In this episode they cover just such a story that took place in the suburbs of Denver, Colorado on August 22, 2022 and caught the attention of many local cemetery enthusiasts across the state. They discuss what led to the move, the process of reburial, and they delve into the story of the Sisters of Loretto, an order of Ordinary Extraordinary Catholic nuns who dedicated their lives to God as religious women and educated poor children.
