Unusual Gravestones

House Crazy Sarah is one of those people who loves roaming around in old cemeteries. If you enjoy her blog, you may be one of those people too!

You can find the most unusual gravestones in graveyards, even newer ones. Like this poor lad:

Or this gentleman with the very worn, um, lump in his trousers…

Or how about this guy gazing for eternity at the disembodied head of his wife:

Yikes!

But men aren’t the only ones lounging around in death. This fair maiden (below), is right comfy in her bed:

Here’s a deceased French couple, cozy in their marital bed:

At least these youngsters are upright:

But there’s no shame in sitting for a spell and enjoying a stogie after a long life of living…

One might just need eternity to contemplate a beatnik life:

Some whither in sorrow because they can no longer play their music:

Others play gleefully in death:

(Jesus has some strong abs!)

Speaking of Jesus, Georges below seems to be recreating the whole Jesus rising from the tomb miracle:

Did Georges come back from the dead?

 

A Few of Their Favorite Things

Others like to be remembered by their favorite things…

Their cars…

Their motorbikes:

Their favorite jewels…

Their favorite chair…

Their favorite games:

Favorite pastimes:

Favorite TV shows…

Favorite loyal old dog…

Favorite cat:

Heck, their Hello Kitties:

Their computers?

This poor person is frozen forever in time with a clunky 90’s desktop.   🙁

 

What Were They Thinking?

There are many unusual gravestones that are just too confounding to classify.

Like this one:

WTH? There’s no accounting for personal taste, even in death.

At least they had a sense of humor!

Angry turtle dad!

The cranky, hungry Lion:

Then there’s this egg shaped grave…

It’s very Lady Gaga – Born This Way-esque.

House Crazy Sarah found several of these parking meter-themed graves…

Time has “expired”, sigh.

 

Funny inscriptions

Some headstones are interesting because of their inscribed words:

Ouch.  Maybe that’s a surname?

Silly unknown man!

Weren’t we all?

That’s an accomplishment!

And finally, House Crazy Sarah’s personal favorite:
