DEATH HEAD

 
They certainly don’t make gravestones like they used to. I love the old stones with the death heads on them, like this one. I’ve taken many of them and they vary so much. I’ve noticed in smaller graveyards I see only one or two varieties, in larger ones, they vary so much more. I think that they must be almost the stone carver’s signature. I will have to do more investigation and post more of these in the future. Posted by Picasa

When I went to England Betty and I spent a lot of time looking at old gravestones.
