Au Naturale

A collection of headstone pictures that were inspired by nature, with slight emphasis on the tree trunk headstone.


From Oakwood Cemetery in Syracuse, NY:

From the Jamesville Walnut Grove Cemetery in Jamesville, NY:

The simple boulder look:

 This one is actually modeled after a log, complete with rings and a small branch stump.

From Forest Lawn Cemetery in Buffalo, NY:

(Pardon the raindrops; the visit to this cemetery was somewhat interrupted by a storm and I just tried getting some pictures from the dryness of my car)

This headstone's ornamentation is a little hard to see, but it's wrought iron grapevines set into granite.

This isn't strictly nature-derived, but I liked how the cross was made to look like a cross propped up by stones and grown over by vines.
