Tombstone art reflects both fears and fantasies. Life size angels with feathered wings promise a heavenly afterlife. Mourning figures suggest we will be missed. Visit some of my favorite tombs, icons and symbols. This site is made to be wandered through, so there is no one path and no directions.

Look for links in words and pictures.

You can also watch my QuickTime movie of Forest Hills Cemetery, Boston,

or my movie of Lexington Churchyard, MA.
