Long gone!

We seem to go to a fair few funerals these days & one last week was lovely….if you can call a funeral lovely that is?
A really lovely old church at Cockerham, full church, great singing & a slap up funeral buffet!

Later we walked back to the graveyard to have a wander round the graves & pay our respects to Marion.

Very interesting old grave stones.

I don’t know why I’ve always loved old cemeteries and one of the first things I painted in repeat as a child was old tombstones with bare trees and a full moon.

So good to hear of a much enjoyed and appreciated send-off

Graveyards are very photogenic , I tend not to photograph them though , although I think I've maybe posted some gravestones with driving snow

What an interesting find. I wonder if any of their descendants still visit and remember them.

[Beryl Lloyd]

Amazing how visiting old graveyard interest a lot of us. And the style and info carved on the gravestones have changed over the decades. Nice find and capture

[Maggiemae]

Amazing to see the year 1703! Or is it 1793? Such history. We all remember 'lovely' funerals - it's very special!

Beautiful engraving on this old stone.
