#31daysofgraves day 13 #unusual This appears homemade, which is endearing to me. The love expressed when pockets are empty.
#taphophile #cemetery #gravestone #headstone #memorial

An unusual marker stands amongst the white traditional markers of a Midwest US cemetery.

This unusual marker stands 4-5 feet tall, made of a metal base that looks like a gear from a giant engine, with a cement ball on top.

#31daysofgraves day 12 #ordinary This ordinary object is impactful, a combination art and a memorial for the dead. Not everyone gets the opportunity to memorialize their loved one in a #cemetery

A photo of a white box fan encased in plexiglass with this description: Shortly after the death of his lover Stephen Earabino from AIDS, artist John Boskovich learned that Stephen's family had completely cleared out his apartment in an attempt to eradicate his memory. All that remained was an electric box fan, which John encased in plexiglass and titled "feel it motherfuckers" (1997). the wind from the fan represents Stephen's breath, allowing John to create eternal life for his dead lover.

#31daysofgraves humor (humour) is the topic today. Once there was a post, by a claimed #taphophile, amazed to find a monument shaped like a tree (very common in the Midwest)
It’s our private joke now- OMG COME OVER HERE, THAT ONE LOOKS LIKE A TREE!!!

A detail of a Woodman of the World headstone. They can be very unique, with symbols and representations of the deceased and their families

#31daysofgraves second round for day 10 #missing
The #cemetery is an existential tale. All these monuments meant to leave a lasting record, fade away.
#graveyard #gravestone #statue #headstone #taphophile

A stone figure beside a headstone is missing its head.

A tall headstone with the name “VORRAHL” has a large crack down its length, showing it is hollow inside, with a support pipe. It seems to be homemade, cast concrete.

A child like angel statue stands over a grave without hands.

#31daysofgraves Memorials at gravesites from the Chicago area. So many ways glass can be part of a gravesite- columbarium, porcelain photo, stained glass, or glass enclosure to preserve statuary.
