This is both infuriating and heartbreaking at the same time 🥺💔🏳️‍🌈

Wow, 17 years of cuddling.

I wonder how many times she said that in her life?

This is really moving 💕

Children's headstones always hurt to see. My heart goes out to his family.

I wonder what the image is made out of, it's held up remarkably well.

She may have been from the silent generation, but she definitely got the last word in!

Beautiful. One of the best gravestones I've ever seen.

Yes please. And even better, one of the drawers secretly opens.

Too many young ones.😔

Their babies died so young! 2 at 1 yr, 1 at 7,

Upvote for the Last name. Maybe related!

Stunning

Wow!

Wonderful. A stone to make visitors think, see, and know.

So sad.

The BEST Boi!!!

Good God. Their mother stabbed them to death while they were sleeping because the father had filed for divorce due to his wife's infedility.

I think it’s beautiful that they’re side by side like this. Rest in peace! 🤍🥋

The broken and dead tree was a common marker, often for members of the Woodmen Of The World, a fraternal organization. Still in existence I think. The railroad car and tunnel- were not common.

Petrusha was a good cat 🐈‍⬛😊🖤

“The graveyard’s most popular and romantic statue is the one on the Mazzone grave. The effigies depict the two Mazzone siblings dancing together. Mario died while serving as a pilot during World War II, and his sister Maria died just before her wedding. Their mother wanted to represent them finally reunited in the afterlife, Mario wearing his uniform, and Maria wearing her wedding gown.”

lol. An old joke; and long one of my favorites- I've threatened doctors with it many times.

As the mother of a child with multiple special needs, I have always been so ambivalent about this idea. I love my son with every fiber of my being. There are days when things are so difficult and I wish he didn't have the issues he does. But those very issues are a part of who my son is. To not have them would mean not having him be him. I do believe in an afterlife and have contemplated if the idea of my son being "cured" is worth the change to his identity. I don't know the answer; it's probably different for every person.

Must have had a great sense of humor when alive.

Spooky

How terribly sad (ཀʖ̯ཀ)

he joined gene roddenberry, leonard nimoy, deforest kelly and james doohan before his time. may he "trek" though the stars forever.

I wander through cemeteries whenever I can. There are always stones like this to open doors.

How sad she passed 2 years after the Titanic sank at only 54 years old.

He died so young (heart failure at age 24.) His family asked for donations to be made in his memory to a German Shepherd rescue, in lieu of flowers.

Just 27 years old. She died of Stage 4 breast cancer.

died somewhere before 1870; this would have been a very unusual marker for those days.

Diagnosed with cancer at age 2. May she ride horsies forever in the great beyond.

Here is the front side of her grave: https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/88161474/teresa-anne-bolden#view-photo=63447526 She was murdered by someone she hired to help her repair her home.

He died aged 40. Absolutely heartbreaking. :(

@Ace. lambs are often used to denote a child's grave marker or cenotaph..

32 years old. It makes me so sad to see the gravestones of people who died so very young. For those curious: Jaquan was shot after leaving a nightclub and tried to drive himself to a hospital, but died on the way. https://www.wtvr.com/news/local-news/jaquan-reid-death-petersburg-reward-july-25-2022

Goodbye Norma Jean 💔

If you've ever seen Supernatural you know that you need to burn this doll immediately! ;) Seriously though, dolls were often made in the likeness of a child (usually with their own hair) who passed away.

Mary Irving, Greensboro, GA, 1740-1828. According to lore, it's a "map" showing how she died (bitten by a snake.)

According to OP on Reddit, this is her son's grave. He died aged 6 of a disease/condition that he was born with. No one should have to outlive their kids.

Died aged 21 of asphyxiation due to vomiting in her sleep after combining alcohol and Oxy. Truly just a tragedy. As someone who has struggled with substance abuse myself, I know how hard it is to stop/fight it.

Lord, if I ever get a nickname like "Poodie," I hope someone just takes me out back and takes care of business.

I wonder if Disney had anything to say about this... and how fast they were struck down if they did.

Why would they make Divine's marker so dull? No wonder people have jazzed it up...
