While visiting a cemetery today, we came across this very odd mausoleum with stone couches. This is one of those instances where I wish I knew the story behind it. Perhaps I will have to investigate more. There will be another post tomorrow on the cemetery visit…
hehehehe! I know the story…they wanted their surviving relatives not to get too comfortable while visiting!!! hehehehe Just kidding! Wow, that isn’t something you would expect to find at a cemetary, but they sure are interesting!!!!
Cemeteries can be such interesting places if you take the time to read the history that’s in front of you. Every time I travel I always take the opportunity to stop for a few minutes and older cemeteries and peruse some of the stones and family plots and think back over the history.
I can’t imagine how hot those stone chairs must get in the summertime. It must be someone of importance or at least someone with a fair amount of money to create such a correct and have such a large piece of land around it.
