Gravestones fascinate me.   Here are some recently discovered stones from our latest cemetery excursion.   Some are sad, some ironic, some funny, some odd.   All wonderful~  (Riverside Cemetery, Cleveland, OH)

Oh my! The "King" and "Queen"~ Of what?

Why...the GYPSIES! Of course! Duh!

Interesting stone with just a signature

Great view with the city in the background

Poor little baby graves. Well tended. Recent.

Old area of baby graves. No bobbles or remembrances. Sad.

Tiny little plot with three small, old grave markers

Just cuz I like the inscriptions

Ironic --->

*smile*

First gay grave I've ever seen. Beautiful.

Not sure what this means, but it's interesting.

This makes me chuckle.

Coffin. Bury.

Okay, so these are some pics I took at the cemetery the other day on our driver’s ed session.   I love me a good cemetery, and I’ve never met a cemetery I didn’t like.  Sound weird?  Maybe…but so many emotions hit me while walking through the cemetery.  There is so much history, so many stories.   And of course, we fixed fallen flags, dusted off those with no visitors and talked to anyone who might be “spiritually about”.   Anyhow…you can see a LOT at the cemetery:

There’s funny stuff:

ha ha ha ha!

Forwards or backwards meanings

Deceased fashion designer?

makes me giggle

(surname: Miller) It's a tall miller (like brew?) Wha-wha-wha-whaaa

SEE! I bet this place is hoppin' at night!

The stuff that makes me a little angry:

Tire tracks over a headstone. Who does this??

And there’s even the intriguing!  Like the section of Freemason gravestones:
