19.) I'm not quite sure what's supposed to be going on here. Talk about creepy.

22.) These graves of husband and wife are connected from two adjacent cemeteries. The wife was a protestant and the husband was Catholic. They died at a time when protestants and catholics cemeteries were strictly separated.

23.) This is the last remaining grave from an old cemetery in rural Indiana. Most of the graveyard was moved to make way for the state highway. The grandson of the woman buried there refused to have his grandmother moved. The county eventually gave in and built the road around the grave.

I really hope my grave is half as exciting and weird as these people's graves when the time comes. I don't understand #13, why would you want a cell phone as a gravestone? To each their own I suppose.

I'm being cremated, so no one can comment on any marker for me! I intend to ride the ocean currents, and visit all the wonderful ocean fronts, resorts, and deserted islands that are part of our beautiful oceans, and that I'll never see with my feet planted here.

Some of these pics are just plain weird ! ! ! ! !

The Victorian one may have been to prevent grave robbers.

Planning to be cremated also -- otherwise the tombstone would be covered in cats.

Very much disagree with the interpretation of #18. "Nature is relentless. This is such a tragic picture."

Instead, I'd caption in -- "Life, in all forms, goes on." I find it a very happy and inspirational picture myself. When I'm gone, I don't want or expect the world to stop.

I don't see #18 as being tragic either. I see nature (the tree), embracing and protecting mother.

That's a beautiful way to look at it. What a great example of making the choice to see positive instead of negative.
