Thank you for the enlargement, Kathy...I wonder if Lois & Nicole were simultaneously married to him....or if one preceded him in death. It does LOOK funny.....let's make up a story! LOLOriginally Posted by Kathyf
I found this in Westwood when I was visiting Marily's Grave in June.
yes Djdeath lets make one up. I have been to that cemetery so many times you think I would have seen it before now.
Ruffian - Your story touched us all. And, I learned something. Sometimes when death touches us, we do nothing because we are numb. Now we know that the small act of asking to hold that baby meant so much to the Mother. I will remember that.

The death of a child is one of the saddest and hardest things to deal with.I cant bring myself to deal with my story but bless you all for telling yours.
Renowned Death Hag
Our hospital offers a burial service for babies lost before 20 weeks- I believe at 20 weeks, a regular funeral service is held.
For pre-term babies, two cemetaries have donated space and the funeral homes take turns donating the caskets and handling the services- twice a year they have a funeral for the pre-term babies that have died that year. The casket has all the babies in it- and they are buried in "Babyland". It really is a wonderful thing to do for grieving families. My first one was buried in October 2005. When we lost the second in December, the hospital stored the remains to be buried the following October in the same cemetary. It gives some closure, and gives me a place to visit and acknowledge their brief life.

I've had four children, each of them preemies. The last one was only 4lbs. But all of them are healthy now, Thank God.
God Bless all of you who have lost children. XOXO
..and God bless you, TNpuck....best wishes for a healthy baby.
The *hardest* funerals I have ever been to was one for a 16 yr. old boy at my church when I was about 20. I hadn't had children yet, but I will NEVER forget his mother's face. The other was the 18 yr old son of my neighbor who died in a car accident.
The grief of the mothers---it's so intense, it's like it sucks the air out of the room so you can't breathe. It's so HUGE. sigh.
Wow. 4lbs. My twins were 1.7 and 1.6!! I wish they were 4!Im soo glad to hear they are healthy..My son, Ace, that passed away is buried in my plot and I find solace in that.
The hospital I was at was Uconn in CT. They didnt offer any services, like the ones Ive seen you guys list. I mean, I was lucky that my mother in law helped.I wasnt prepared for a funeral, and life insurance didnt count for him cause he only lived 4 days.
So sad all around

When my grandfather died, when it was time to go to the cemetary, the headstone (joint plot) was already there, with his name, birth and death years. It had my grandmother's name with the birth year and a dash with a blank! She was quite offended. Not over the blank, but because all of her friends attending the funeral saw how old she was.
Aww..LOL!!
When my dad died (in '84) my mom ordered a matching marker for her half of the slab. Ironically....since the VA was soo slow, mom's marker was in place months before my dad's. I have heard that it creeps out some of my family that mom's name & d.o.b. is there....waiting with my dad.

Epitaph on headstone forms a unflattering word
True!
I am sure some of you have seen this before, I have wondered if this was true or fake I guess it is true!
I had never seen this before. How hilarious!

Lookin good there Danny..... I hope your raking in the bucks for the use of your image!!Thats really me!!
I do assume its copyrighted... I mean it is after all an iconic image!!
Ok, this is not as interesting as the parking meter one, but it's still pretty cool.
When I was in Koya-san (Mount Koya) in Japan, we went to the most awesome cemetry, this place had something like a million graves and rising.
And in the mddle of all the traditional graves was this one :
Well that certainly is cool!! Thanks for adding it!!Ok, this is not as interesting as the parking meter one, but it's still pretty cool.

The Clothespin Grave, Middlesex, VT
Created for the owner of a local clothespin factory. Hmm, a little on the nose?
Danny You can check this out-
Lilly E. Gray, “Victim of the Beast 666″
This mysterious grave marker rests in a Salt Lake City boneyard. Despite repeated attempts to explain the creepy inscription, investigations by the morbidly curious have turned up little about this “Victim of the Beast 666.” A few interesting facts were gleaned by sleuth Richelle Hawks: Lily’s name was mispelled on her stone (an extra “l” was added), she married petty thief Elmer Gray at age 72, but he’s buried far away from his wife in the same cemetery, and Gray died of natural causes in a local hospital. Anyone got an Ouija board handy?

I hadn't seen some of those before. Thanks folks!

For a drug dealer:
Six feet under is where I lie
I used to get your brother high
Your sister she turned tricks
Just so that she could get her kicks.
But it was your dad who burned me when he flicked his bic.
Oh how I tried
To stop your son from suicide
Too close to the edge of the cliff
Instead of him, I'm the stiff
Race car driver:
Around the track I went zoom
Too close to the wall and I went boom!
The wheels stopped - again they'll never spin
And into the grave I finished in
For a male porn star:
There are many women who I have licked
Then I got a disease which made me sick
And though this is the biggest hole I've been inside
There is still something that just isn't right
For a mailman:
This is where I've made my final delivery
Your magazines I can no longer read
Postage stamps may go up in price
At least I'll no longer hear your gripes

"Here lies Ben, whose life was full , Until he tried to milk a bull".
How about 'last words' and/or epitaths. I read this epitath shortly before my mother died in 1973 and, somehow, it helped me accept the inveitability of it all. "As you are now, so once was I. As I am now, so shall you be." I wish I could make attribute but.....

There's a gravestone in Stirling Cemetery in Scotland that says something like....here lies, Sarah, and her faithful servant, Mary......
Mary died like 10 years after Sarah, and she was still buried with her employer!
We found this in Kentucky when my graveyard fan Dad went through some in the HILLS.

I found this link on mental-floss.com and loved it! Poor Rex's stone is by far my fave.

different....each to their own.
I like different.
Too neat! Love it!!
Wow, most of those are really interesting, and a few just disturbing.
The one in the form of a teddy bear looks very familiar. Either it's the one in the same cemetery as my grandmother, or it's not very unique.
Renowned Death Hag
Some of those are just bizarre. But it seems like many of them are the graves of people who died very young - 20s to 50s. I'd love toy know what happened to them. Especially that kid with the runnning shoe on her gravestone - tragically flattened by a bus while jogging?
Very cool! Thanks!
I've seen this one before; my absolute FAVE!
Hmmmmm.....maybe I'll tell hubby to put a NY Times Sunday crossword on mine....
very cool pictures, I'd be interested in knowing the stories behind some of those deaths too
Yup Ghoulie. Awesome link, mother.
It's in a cemetery in New Jersey...does that help?
It helps, but it's not in the same cemetery as my grandmother. There's an exact replica of that same headstone in a cemetery in southern ohio then.
I love cemetaries...Every stone tells a story...Some better than others...I hope somebody gets creative with mine!!!
Oye! Do you think the shoe would be so clean and, uh... non-flat? I agree, I'd love to have known some backstory on a few of them.
Headstones are my passion.........have acquired quite a few pics in my day.......the lack of story is what fascinates me.....I like to come up with my own..........adds to the mystery of death

Love the Scrabble one. Some of them were very sweet, some of the others were a little bizarre. You made your mark in life, I suppose you might as well make a mark in death!
