My body lies beneath
stone.
And shows whereto
all flesh must come.
No state or worth
nor power can save
There’s no distinction
in the grave.

Epitaph on a in from 1776 -
My sleeping dust beneath
this tomb proclaim,
Where too all flesh
must come,
And in this glass you
plainly see
You soon must mingle
dust with me

Hooded Grave Cemetery (aka Mt Zion Cemetery) in Catawissa, PA
No, these aren't for keeping vampires in the grave. This is a mortsafe for a burial from 1852, likely used to keep body snatchers out (resurrectionists we're active here at this time). This cemetery has 2 caged graves, a 3rd was removed in the 1930s. Similar items could be bought through the Sears catalog, though these are the only remaining caged graves in the U.S.

Je vais profiter de ce grand weekend pour rapatrier les contenus que j'avais déjà créés ici (et j'espère enfin travailler sur les nouveaux, parce que la vie c'est pas du nougat en ce moment) avec mon cher et tendre et où les trouver 🙂. Je vous ferai signe au fur et à mesure !
