Student Photographs -- Couples Together Forever.


  1. From a distance, this looks like many other husband and wife markers. Up close, however, we see that this headstone is for two men. The inscription reads:

    In Loving Memory
    They have been called
    to the garden.
    We shall miss them
    for we loved them so
    and our hearts will
    guard their memory
    'till we ourselves are called
    to walk hand in hand with
    them through eternity.

    This photo was cropped, but it showed many more stuffed animals, small statues, and other mementos. And lots more flowers.



  2. This man was born in France in 1882 and died in 1943 at the age of 61, fifty-four years ago. Note that there is room for someone alongside, but we don't think she is likely to show up...



  3. This couple chose a mausoleum vault for their final resting place together.



  4. Edward was born in 1891 and Ethel in 1894, and they died in their mid-80s only a few months apart. Their inscription reads:

    The mystery of love is more
    profound than the mystery of death.
