Crypts

[cornerofmadness]

Mom took me to the cemetary she wanted me to see. It's relatively small but had a few fine statues. But the thing she really wanted me to see what this crypt. I've not seen anything like this in my life.

It was hand made (as opposed to purchased from a monument company) or so I think. It was done up as the tomb of Joseph of Arithemea, complete with large unhewned rock in front of the tomb door. It was made of rock and had small round windows that must have had punched tin 'glass' like a pie safe. Sadly those were destroyed (so I put my hand inside to snap photos in the crypt). There was a bronze lintel to the rock-door (kids screwed that up too) and the name on the door was 'Leaf', the only identifer there was. There were stylized leaves in concrete on the crypt and there was evidence something stood at the door but that's been busted off.

WHen I get back to OH I'll post pictures.
