For my Leap Day, my mum and I decided to visit a local cemetery to walk our dog. While I was there, I took photos of some tombstone engravings. The youngest person buried that I saw was four years old. However, looking at online records from the church, the youngest buried was a still-born from the late 1800s. For more information about the churchyard and cemetery, visit their website here. Below is a panoramic picture of the churchyard and I will include more in a photoset following this post.
All of the tombstones I will be posting in the gallery will have the names blocked, out of respect for the deceased. One of the tombstones I saw had a really beautiful engraving. If the picture is too blurry, the engraving says “together they lived and loved and together they departed this life” as well as “there is a green hill far away.” I think that would be a good idea for the chorus.
Together they lived, together they died, together they departed this life. They say that death is the crown of life. But this is the story of how they died.
