At home

A couple cozy, homey scenes.

From Metairie Cemetery, New Orleans:

You know she's wearing a cardigan because the pocket is sagging with the weight of whatever's in there. Lovely details.

 

 

Bottinelli matriarch

From Mt. Hope Cemetery in Vermont:

A couple going to bed for their eternal rest. "Set me as a seal upon thine heart for love is strong as death." - Song of Songs, 8:6.

Father's Day

 An armchair (for napping in):

Grapes are engraved on the chair arms!

• Rock of Ages Facebook video/post - "After a hard day at work, Mr. Bettini would come home, sit in his favorite armchair, have a glass of his wife's homemade wine and relax. ..."

Something old, something new

 From Hope Cemetery in Barre, VT, where interesting graves are so plentiful it feels like cheating, pyramids (classic) and digital markers (new)!

The four faces of the pyramid are numbered, and side 1 for each provides the names as thus:

If you met Daniel Morrell Vrooman (9-6-1938)/ Jane Elinor Vrooman (3-11-38) and forgot him/her, you have lost nothing: but if you met Jesus Christ and forgot him, and you have lost everything.

We care so much for you that we left this message of hope. Read Dan's stone 2-4, read Jane's stone 2-4 to access the memory medallions. For more information, contact the cemetery office.
