Thanks Luanne!
That’s one of the reasons I enjoy visiting cemeteries. Especially the old ones with history unfolding, stories waiting to be retold, and beautiful art and architecture hidden in the most surprising places.

It is! I grew up living above a funeral home and they also carved stones but I’ve never seen one anywhere near this awesome. Just don’t make them like they used to.

That must have been an interesting childhood home! Have you seen the show Six Feet Under? 🙂 You’re so right, older is far better.
