Tombstone Study

Added over 70 photographs of old moss and lichen covered tombstones over at www.stolloween.com.

The tombstone gallery should serve as a good reference for anyone wishing to give their tombstone props a realistic and organic finish.

Inspiration-Cemetery

Most families spend the evening playing putt-putt golf or getting ice cream. We do those things as well but we often take little side trips to explore interesting places most people ignore.

These photos are from a visit to an old cemetery in a nearby town, we have no releatives buried here, it just looked like a beautiful place to visit.

We spent about an hour quietly looking at the names and dates on the headstones, admiring the artistry of the monuments and talking, yes talking with our kids about many different things. The setting sparked many interesting questions and that evening remains a special memory.

Enjoy the photos, the cemetery contained almost everything you could ever want for a home haunt display, I hope they serve as inspiration.
