Unusual Graves, Tombstones and Epitaphs

[seurtoFW]

I love reading the little quotes and writings on stones...there are always a few that make you kinda tear up, and some that make you wonder what they were thinking when they did it. The most interesting two I've seen were one in Texas with the dates written as "Born ______; Murdered ______" I had just lost my brother a few years prior to walking by this stone, and found it not far from his grave... I was REALLY shocked to see this. I'll have to figure out how to post pictures on here...it was really surprising to see.

My stepson went to school with a girl who was murdered and that is the way it is listed on her stone:

I don't know if this place is open to the public anymore, but in Lucas Kansas there is a place constructed early in the century made out of limestone cut logs made by a fellow named Dinsmore. He constructed a limestone mausoleum and behind plexiglass you can see John Dinsmore in his limestone coffin where he was placed in 1935. You could still see the tobacco juice stain on his beard. I was last there in '94, I don't know if it is still open to the public.

I Googled to find out the details of Ms. Freelove's murder and found this: http://news.google.com/newspapers?ni...g=6641,5112478

Yeah it was quite a deal; Channing and Melanie were both beautiful girls. And it kind of makes it sound like they were out in the middle of no where when they were killed, but not really. The field is located by one of the uturns underneath the freeway. Just 2 exits down from our house. As far as I know, her folks still don't believe half of it. Its a very sad deal

Oh!!! I remember this now!

Yeah, this was a bad one. 1993.....

They must not have been convicted. Brandi Michelle Cirelli got married in 1996 and now lives in Washington state. It's her. It lists her as having lived in Ft. Worth, TX. Neither of them are listed with TDCJ. Hmmm......

Crazy. I bet her parents feel pretty bad about the $6000 now. By the way, did anyone bother to read the other headlines in that link? "Six fourth graders held on drug charges" and "Boys raped woman, then went to play, police say".

Must be a pretty rough town....

I think this is pretty cool. Maybe it's not for everyone, but I think that it's a pretty neat way to look into the past. It makes me think a lot of findagrave.

My friend and I always joked about recording several messages so that when we die we can have a motion activated head stone

[Bbeelzebub]

It's surprisingly less tacky than I thought it would be. It's less tacky than a lot of grave stones look at Xmas. Doh!

Still, I wonder how long it will be before they figure out a way to put ads on it?

[aLiLdirt]

The chips look like they could be easily pried of the headstones. Lol, I assume there's insurance in the works for that very scenario.

[Scoopslam]

They stole my idea!

[Klopek]

10 years from now, people will say "What's a QR reader?".

[snowblindburd]

Thanks for moving my post! You guys have a thread for everything, lol! Yeah one of the concerns I had was people stealing it. I have no idea why they would, though.

The grave of Victor Noir in Pere Lachaise

notice how one area is polished, here's the story; http://www.gourmantic.com/2009/08/21/rubbing-it/

here in town there's a little cemetery that has a tombstone that says "Infant son of Phil & Fanny Fine" I saw that when I was lurking in the graveyard when I was a kid (Death hag since about age 8) and I found it humorous for how the tombstone read, and sad because it was a baby.

Unfortunately I no longer have a picture of the grave I'm about to describe but it's baffled me for YEARS!

It's basically an above ground sarcophagus. It's really plain looking except for what's on the side of it. There seems to be a window with mini-blinds only accessible through the inside! It's in a church cemetery that really isn't that large or old so I can't even remember why I stopped there since I tend to only gravitate towards older cemeteries. My husband and I were walking through and saw it and I bet we spent hours trying to figure out what in the world was going on! I'm still confused and can't find any info about anything like it. I wish I hadn't lost all those photos in a computer crash or I'd post one. Maybe I'll try to get another shot the next time I head out that way.

Anybody know what it could possibly be?

my friend Sean is buried next to a couple that has...

"We knew if we hung around long enough, something like this was gonna happen" on their stone
