One of my favorite aspects of cemeteries besides the ornate headstones and statuary has to be the symbols and statements you'll find.
You'll find the simple...
and the incomprehensible.
and the incomprehensible. You'll see lots of people who are finally "at rest."
For me, the children's graves are always the most touching...
and sometimes horribly sad.
Some are ornate...
and others are hopeful.
and others are hopeful.Sometimes forthrightly hopeful...
sometimes pretty optimistic.
There's the symbolic...
the artistic...
the creepy.
There's beauty...
and also things that make you smile.
Some are poetic.
Some are exceedingly simple. I found an "S" for Smith...
and a reminder that January 20th is coming!
