A Taphophile's Appreciation of the Art and Beauty of New England Cemeteries
Sunday, November 4, 2012
St. Mary's Cemetery, Windsor Locks
There are so many artistic and interesting tombstones and statues that can be seen in cemeteries but equally interesting are the chachkies that visitors leave at the gravesides that go beyond the usual beautiful flowers. Angel figurines are a favorite as are votive candles, birdhouses, little lighthouses and animal statues. I once saw a grave with a fully decorated Christmas tree. I'll be sharing some of my favorites as I find them during my cemetery walks. This one made me a little sad because it decorated the grave of a one year old baby.
