We found more than one of these in the Potter's Field - filled with stuff like wax, cloves, lemon.  I am guessing some kind of witchcraft or Wicca?  Hopefully good intent.

Also a few small bones and several sea shells.

Maybe a rotting lemon?

Oldest one we found - 1867

I remember this one too - star athlete senior and his star athlete girlfriend died in a car accident.

Big plot for an infant

Maybe the newest we saw - 2020 infant

Table Rock cemetery.  You can't see most of them in the grass and it is fenced off, but Find A Grave suggests at least 26 burials here.

Lots of Petrified Wood used all over this cemetery - in headstones, borders, etc.

Interesting error - was 1912, then they filled in part of the 2 to change it to 1911, but didn't fill in the bottom so it looks like 191L

Several of these - mason jars filled with concrete and then covered in concrete and stone to make a headstone.  

This grave had lots of really good rocks - crystals and agates.

Lined with pinecones.

How does this become your epitaph?
