  1. Great finds!

    How ironic! I have some recent ones in my pending file. I love finding them. When they are for children it just breaks my heart. Gonna schedule mine to post soon. I did an article on the GYR Journal about them a while back.

  2. I guess it's okay for black and white, really old pictures... but modern gravestones with color pics of people creep me the hell OUT. Might be better if they just had a little hollowed-out place in the stone where a photo album could be kept chained to a ring or something... I don't like looking at a gravestone and seeing someone looking back. 8-)

  3. Gale - I remeber that article. It was very well done. Can't wait to see your post.

    Marcheline - The photos that wierd me out are the ones that when you see them all you can think is "Why would anyone put that on their headstone?" I have seen some really bad photos on headstones and me personally I wouldn't want to even put it on one if it wasn't a good photo.

  4. I agree with Tammi, about the choice of photo that is chosen to represent you. But I suppose it's the family that make the decision of what was a 'good' picture of you, or in some cases the only photo they have.
    I'm not going to have one, but if I did, I'd choose it before hand and leave instructions.......
